Usage with private repositories
To use the private repositories, you need to allow our Links for Atlassian Jira App to access your private repositories. We do not close or access source code. We use GitHub APIs to get additional information from the links inserted in Jira.
If you want to use this App only with public repositories - you do NOT need any additional configuration.
When you allow GitHub App to access your data, please make sure that you grant permissions to your organization as well, not only your personal repositories.
