Hi,

Is it okay to use this app with Exalate?

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1219592/github-for-jira?tab=overview&hosting=cloud

Will be any problems with using Exalate for syncing issues between GitHub and Jira Cloud?

Thanks,
G

I gave it a quick try and both add-ons can live next to each other.
An interesting use case is

  • Issue is created on JIra
  • Jira Issue is exalated and in the description we add the commit message to be used
  • Twin (the git issue) gets selected for development, and a git action creates a branch
  • The github addon shows the development branch in the Jira issue, the status of the Jira issue is progressed to ‘In process’
  • The developer commits a change (adding the Jira issue key in the commit message), the github issue change to ‘in review’

Is this what you are looking for?
