Git Integration for Jira Self-Managed (Data Center/Server) Documentation

App Support

The Git Integration for Jira app currently supports Jira 8.12 to 9.13!

UPDATE
Starting Git Integration for Jira v4.0+ app, support for Jira 7 is entirely dropped.
Starting Git Integration for Jira v4.12+ app, we are dropping support for Java 8.0-8.11.

We are committed to provide you with an efficient and reliable support. Scroll down to see helpful tips to get started.

 

Jira Server platform end of life support

Starting from version 9.13, Jira Software now exclusively supports Data Center licenses. If you attempt to upgrade to release 9.13 or any subsequent version with your Server license, Jira will be unable to start and you will be required to revert back to the previous version.

If you prefer to continue using a Server license, you have the option of upgrading to Jira Software version 9.12 or an earlier release.

Atlassian’s end of life support for the Jira Server platform is slated for February 15, 2024. Plan ahead on migrating your Jira Server to Cloud or Data Center starting now.

This process is simple and manageable:

  • Before you migrate, upgrade Git Integration for Jira app to the latest version.
  • Back your data for migration.
  • Plan your migration path.

See the following topics from Atlassian for migration:

 

Migrating to Jira 9

Administrators should deselect the “Reverse commit tab sort order” option in General settings when Jira 8 is migrated to Jira 9. If this is a new Jira 9 installation then nothing is required.

After upgrading from Jira 8 to Jira 9, administrators must re-create all indexes using the “Reset index” Action command for all repositories or integrations.

For detailed information, see Migrating from Jira 8 to Jira 9.

 

Quick Installation Video

No changes necessary to your Git server. This Jira app acts as a regular Git client.

Using Atlassian’s marketplace system, a Jira administrator can install the Git Integration for Jira app without ever leaving the web browser.

Watch the complete installation of the Git Integration Plugin for Jira app from scratch (2 minutes).

 

Viewing Reindex Logs

Go to the Manage Git Repositories page, click the Actions icon then View Log to view the indexing logs.


If there is an error encountered when connecting to a repository, a similar indexing error log will be displayed:

Retiring IE11 Support

With the release of the Edge browser since 2015, IE has not been receiving major updates. Atlassian has stated in their blog that they will withdraw support for IE11 on all Jira products.

In view of this, BigBrassBand LLC will also follow this decision effectively:

  • For all Atlassian Cloud products, support will end on 31 March 2020.

  • For Atlassian server and data center products, the last version to support IE11 will be released between September 2019 and March 2020.
