How to: View Commits, Branches & Merge Requests on an Issue

A quick walkthrough for finding development activity on a Jira issue.

Step 1: Reference the Issue Key

When committing code, include the Jira issue key in the commit message, branch name, or pull/merge request title:

git commit -m "PROJ-123 Add validation for empty input"

Step 2: Wait for Sync

GitConnect for Jira syncs connected repositories on a regular schedule, and immediately for repositories with indexing triggers (webhooks) configured. If you need activity to show up right away, a user with the Manage Integrations permission can trigger a manual Reindex from Manage Integrations - see Managing Connected Repositories.

Step 3: Open the Issue

1. Open the Jira issue referenced in your commit, branch, or pull/merge request
2. Look for the Issue Activity panel (right-hand side of the issue) for branches, pull/merge requests, builds, deployments, and tags
3. Open the Git Commits tab for the full commit feed with diffs, or the Git Roll Up tab for a per-developer summary
