jira and git linking up

myusuf3 picture myusuf3 · Jul 19, 2010 · Viewed 16.5k times · Source

I recently moved to jira for my bug management tool. I have installed the most recent copy which 4.1. We use Git as our version control system, I am looking to set it up, so looking around i found that the Git Integration Plugin for JIRA by BigBrassBand is one of the most popular.

Unfortunately, like all things that happen in my day, its only fully compatible with Jira 3.13.

Anyone have suggestions for managing this, or working around it.

Also anything pre/post commit hooks with jira/git would be helpful too!

As you can see in this changeset, regarding the Jira Git Plugin you mentioned:

  • JGit 0.5 will be out soon, with a Jira 4 compatibility built-in.
  • For right now, you can try that GitHub repo, with Jira 4 support and branch support

Note (2011), as CharlesB mentions in the comments, the latest JGit versions have all Jira4 compatibility:
