Hooks and Webhooks

This section covers hooks and webhooks supported by Git Integration for Jira Cloud. Use these features to enforce commit policies and enable real-time repository indexing.

Hook Types

Configure Client-Side Hooks

Set up the commit-msg hook as a Python script in developers’ local repositories to validate commit messages before they’re accepted.

Configure Server-Side Hooks

Apply project policies using server-side hooks. These scripts run before and after pushes, requiring Python on the server.

Indexing Triggers

Set Up Indexing Triggers

Configure webhooks to trigger immediate reindexing of your repositories from remote systems, providing near real-time git data in Jira.
