If You're Using Jira Server (DVCS Connector Setup Guide)

Step 1: Enable DVCS Connector in Jira Server

  • Navigate to: Jira Admin > Applications > DVCS Accounts

  • Click: Link Bitbucket or GitHub Account

  • Select: GitHub or GitHub Enterprise, depending on your use case

Step 2: Create an OAuth App on GitHub

  • Navigate to: GitHub > Settings > Developer Settings > OAuth Apps

  • Click: New OAuth App

  • Fill in the following details:

    • Application Name: Jira DVCS Connector

    • Homepage URL: https://<your-jira-domain>

    • Authorization Callback URL: https://<your-jira-domain>/plugins/servlet/oauth/receive-access-token

  • After creating the app, copy:

    • Client ID

    • Client Secret

  • Make sure your Jira instance is accessible from GitHub (check proxy/firewall settings)

Step 3: Connect GitHub to Jira

  • Go back to: Jira Admin > Applications > DVCS Accounts

  • Click: Link GitHub Account

  • Enter the following:

    • GitHub Username or Organization

    • OAuth Client ID and Secret

  • Choose to sync either:

    • All repositories

    • Selected repositories

Step 4: Wait for Sync

  • Jira will begin syncing commits, branches, and pull requests

  • Only items that include a valid Jira issue key (e.g., PROJ-101) will appear in the Development panel on the issue
