I've been trying to find a way to update JIRA when I commit to github.

It doesn't look like there are any service hooks to do it at github, but you never know, someone might have a ninja way, so I thought I'd ask.

For integrating with Bitbucket, GitHub and GitHub Enterprise, check out the following link:

ORIGINAL POST

JIRA GitHub Connector is deprecated:

This plugin has been superseded by the JIRA DVCS Connector, which includes GitHub functionality.

So to connect Jira to github use JIRA DVCS Connector for Bitbucket and GitHub:

You can connect Bitbucket or GitHub accounts with JIRA using the free JIRA DVCS Connector plugin. This plugin comes with JIRA OnDemand. For JIRA download users, this is a system plugin that you can install. Using the DVCS connector, you can:

  • Link all or a subset of your existing repositories (both public and private to JIRA).
  • Create new repositories and have them link automatically to JIRA.
  • Reference JIRA issues from DVCS commit message and have those commits appear in the issue's Commits tab in JIRA.
  • Transition issues through a JIRA OnDemand workflow (for example, Close, Reopen, and so forth) using smart commit messages.

check out Using the JIRA DVCS Connector Plugin for more information.
