Automatic Creation of branch From JIRA

[ajay sikka]

Presently, the workflow to manage our code is erroneous. To over come this we have decided upon the new workflow. Now with tool in hands we trying to implement this.

The first step towards implementing is to figure out the way to automatic create feature branch from develop when ever the item moves from TO-DO ---> In-Progress in JIRA.

I spent yesterday and today to figure this out but with no result. As per Atlassian documentation there is a way to create triggers that will automatically update item in JIRA whenever some action is performed against the item key. However, I need the other way round as in where if an item is moved from to-do --> in -progress a branch is created. Following is what I would like to achieve.

TO D0 --> In Progress -- branch forked out from Develop. In Progress --> Need Testing -- forked out branch merged into testing enviroment.

In Testing --> Testing Done --- Merge the forked branch to develop as well as staging and delete the fork branch.

Please suggest.

I suggest using project roles. Then the project admin can add/delete people from roles in the project as needed. In the permission scheme you give the permission to the role so it never needs to be touched.
