Getting Started with CI/CD for Jira

CI/CD for Jira is a free extension to Git Integration for Jira, connecting your CI/CD DevOps pipelines with Jira Cloud’s builds and deployments features. Similar to how Git Integration for Jira exposes commits, branches, and pull requests, CI/CD for Jira adds in build and deployment information associated with Jira issues.

Supported services

CI/CD for Jira currently supports the following tools for Build and Deployment information:

  • GitHub Actions (Cloud or Self Hosted)
  • GitLab CI/CD (Cloud or Self Hosted)
  • Azure DevOps Pipelines (Cloud or Self Hosted)
  • Bitbucket Pipelines (Cloud)
