GitHub links for Jira
GitHub links for Jira allow you to bring additional information about GitHub entities, like issues, pull requests, milestones, to Jira’s issue view page.
How does it look?
On the left side of the issue view you will see enriched GitHub links. GitHub links parsed out from description, comments and custom fields.
