GitHub comments automatically into Jira tasks

Kristin Bestla June 4, 2013

Hello

Is it possible to take comments from github and automatically add them as comments the the JIRA task the comment / commit belongs to? Any experience of some plugins related to that etc.?

Best regards and have a nice day! :)

Hi Kristin,

I do not have any experience with Github but I have done something like this in SVN using a post-commit hook.

Basically in the post commit hook I can add a comment to a JIRA issue

Have you had a look at the Github REST API?

Cheers

It's possible to set it up in GitHub to get an email everytime a comment is made. I'm going to try to solve this by using Mail Handlers in JIRA, and hopefully that will work since it's very easy to set up :)
