Can I integrate with a Github personal account?

Question

I can see how to integrate Jira with a Github Organization but there is no mention of using a personal account.

Does the integration only work with organizations?

thanks,

Dorothy

I got a reply from Atlassian in the end and they said that it could be done with a personal account.  Luckily, this is true.  Perhaps it was not always the case.

It turns out that you can use a personal account.  At least I did with a Github pro account.  It worked just the same way as it does with an organization.

Hi Dorothy,

The integration between Github and Jira Cloud is handled by an add-on developed, maintained and supported by Github. The marketplace listing for the add-on is below:

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1219592/github-for-jira?hosting=cloud&tab=overview

However, as mentioned in the marketplace listing, this add-on only supports Github Organizations, so not personal accounts as well.

I hope this helps.
