Integrate Jira Data Center with GitHub cloud

[Aneesh Sreedharan]

Hi Team,

   Can we integrate Jira Enterprise Data Center-V8.7.1 with GitHub Enterprise Cloud ?

Hi @Aneesh Sreedharan ,

Thanks for posting your question here, I am Dhiren from the Exalate Team.

Can you please describe your exact use-case for this integration?

Exalate, provides a fully bi-directional synchronization between GitHub and Jira (among other ITSM systems) that is fully customizable. It is easy to set up and Exalate uses a scripting engine which is based on Groovy scripts for ultimate flexibility and customization. 

Thanks, Dhiren

Hi @Aneesh Sreedharan

 There are multiple integration tools available to integrate Jira Enterprise Data Centre with GitHubEnterprise Cloud. Depending on what all you are looking to integrate and what scale, sync tools can be divided in following categories:

•  Small scale integration (looking to integrate only couple of projects and few 100 entities): You can go for plugin-based sync tools. Such tools are generally cheaper and require add-ons to be added in GitHub and Jira. Most often, plugins support only basic integration of adding change set as comments and being based on webhooks, they don’t offer rich failure management, either. Without good failure management, managing integration for more than couple of projects gets difficult.
• Medium to large scale integration (looking to integrate 10s or 100s of projects): Go for standalone sync solutions that sits outside of GitHub and Jira and offers rich sync capabilities to scale and manage integration for large number of projects. These tools typically, often take care of rich content sync like inline content, rich text formatting, Epic sync, Issues sync between GitHub Enterprise and Jira Enterprise Data Center.  
• Only change set integration: These tools support only one-way change set/commit/pull request integration from GitHub to Jira. They don’t integrate Epic or Issues between GitHub and Jira.
• Change set + Epic, Issues integration: These tools support rich bi-directional integration for Epic and Issues between Jira and GitHub, in addition to commits, pull requests.

 OpsHub, an Atlassian partner and a certified integration tool, can help you integrate GitHub issues and history of development, like Commit Information, Pull Request, etc., to a Jira project. You can look at the demo video to learn how OpsHub Integration Manager facilitates bidirectional integration between GitHub and Jira. Also, you can read our exclusive guide on Jira GitHub integration.

Thanks, 

Brad

You can use DVCS connector for this integration should be very simple setup.

@mention and thanks to everyone at Confleunce, Cloud, Bitbucket, Datacenter, Server, Trello, all aspects of Jira, Atlas, and every group that I'm a part of, all the people who have helped me!  You guys are awesome.

[Aneesh Sreedharan]

Sorry, I didn't get you. I'm new to Jira world. My question is whether we can integrate Jira Data Center with GitHub cloud.

[David Bakkers]

Don't worry @Aneesh Sreedharan and @Craig Nodwell. The Mia Paulin account has been posting similar incoherent nonsense across many groups for a while.

If you'd like a good laugh, read through some of the account's recent posts.

[Craig Nodwell]

Hi @Aneesh Sreedharan you can set this up via the DVCS connections under Applications in your admin settings.

Have a review of this page

[Mia Paulin]

@Craig Nodwell   Even if you can get github inegrations in the marketplace or as a third party app, Jira has it's own Bitbucket integration as a Jira instance-it's literally a part of Atlassian.  Its a Jira/Atlas "product" you can choose from.  It's not a 3rd party app or one made by debelopers for use on the market place as an integration to add on to Jira.  It's actually part of Jira.  You can configure instances like all the other Jira applications, so there is no need.  And, depending on other instances, you can link them together because most instances on the tlassian portal give you that option.

@Mia Paulin
I didn't suggest a 3rd party app.
I know bitbucket is an Atlassian product.
I've been working with Atlassian products since 2005.
The question on the ticket was about GitHub and Jira Data Center
This is my answer:
Yes you can do that easily via the DVCS connector in the Applications Settings in the Administration Module of Jira Data Center.

Here is a page describing the process.

@Craig Nodwell  Thanks a lot for the response and sharing the procedure.

In fact, I did search in Google, but I couldn't find a solution for Jira Data center and GitHub cloud integration. I could see only Jira Cloud with GitHub Cloud integration. So I raised in this group.

Thanks again.

[Aneesh Sreedharan]

@Craig Nodwell  To make it clear, I'm using Jira Enterprise Data Center-V8.7.1 and GitHub Enterprise Cloud. Hope no difference in the procedure for GitHub Enterprise and GitHub Enterprise Cloud.

Suggest upgrading Jira DC to a supported version,  9.4x

After that the DVCS connection should be an option. 

[Craig Nodwell]

I agree to the suggestion to upgrade, however it is not necessary for this to work.

[Debbie Buswell]

Hello,

JIRA DC can be integrated via plug-ins from Gitcracken and  / or Jigit.

These are in the Atlassian Marketplace.

To clarify, the integration in the GitHub MarketPlace is fron Atlassian for JIRA Cloud.

For GitHub, the subscription model I am referencing is Enterprise Managed Users (EMU).
