Our GitLab, GitHub, Azure DevOps and Jira integration simplifies development, reduces context switching, gives you greater visibility and allows you to easily manage your repositories.
This Gerrit, GitLab, GitHub Jira integration uses REST APIs to access the data it needs. No code access is required. Secure and reliable GitLab/GitHub Jira integration.
Configure at the repository or group level. Jigit takes into account GitHub throttling and supports both cloud and on-premise git systems, tailored to fit the needs of any organization.
Links GitHub/GitLab commits and pull requests to a Jira issue by mentioning the Jira issue key in the commit message or pull/merge request title. See DependaBot vulnerabilities in your Jira projects.

Jigit connects to GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps, AND Gerrit simultaneously, showing all development activity in a single, unified Jira dev panel. It uses REST APIs only (never clones your code), supports smart commits, and shows security alerts from GitHub DependaBot directly on Jira issues.
Engineering organizations managing repositories across multiple Git platforms while using Jira for work tracking. Common in enterprises that have acquired companies with different Git platforms, organizations using GitHub for open source and GitLab internally, or teams migrating between Git providers.
Most Jira Git integrations connect to one provider. If your organization uses multiple - GitHub for some projects, GitLab for others, Azure DevOps for a third - you end up with fragmented dev panels, multiple plugins to install and maintain, and inconsistent visibility across teams. Developers switch tools constantly to find the right branch or PR.

How Jigit Differs:
A technology company has acquired three startups over the past two years. The parent company uses GitHub, one acquisition uses GitLab, another uses Azure DevOps, and a third uses Gerrit for code review. All teams track work in Jira.
The challenge: Without Jigit, the company would need 3-4 separate Jira plugins - one for each Git platform. Each plugin has different UI, different configuration, and different capabilities. The Jira development panel shows different information depending on which plugin is active. PMs have no unified view of development progress across teams.
How Jigit helps:
The result: Plugin costs drop (one license instead of four). Admin overhead is reduced. PMs and stakeholders get a consistent view of development activity regardless of which team or platform hosts the code.
A fintech company's security team needs visibility into known vulnerabilities in their codebase. Developers use GitHub with DependaBot enabled, and all work is tracked in Jira. The security team reviews vulnerabilities weekly but does not have direct access to GitHub.
The challenge: DependaBot creates alerts in GitHub, but the security team works in Jira. Someone has to manually check GitHub for new alerts and create corresponding Jira issues. Vulnerabilities sit unaddressed for days because the handoff between GitHub and Jira is manual and slow.
How Jigit helps:
The result: Vulnerability response time drops from days to hours. The security team has real-time visibility into DependaBot alerts without needing GitHub access. Remediation is tracked end-to-end in Jira.
An e-commerce platform runs a monorepo on GitLab with 300+ developers making hundreds of commits per day. They use Jira for sprint planning and need to associate commits and merge requests with Jira issues for traceability.
The challenge: At this scale, basic Git integrations choke. Indexing hundreds of daily commits across a monorepo causes timeouts and stale data. The development panel in Jira shows incomplete information or loads slowly, making it unreliable for sprint reviews.
How Jigit helps:
The result: The development panel in Jira stays reliable and fast. Sprint reviews reference actual commit and MR data instead of developer self-reports. Branch naming is consistent, making it easy to trace any piece of code back to its Jira issue.
A developer tools company maintains open source projects on GitHub alongside proprietary code on GitLab. Community contributors submit PRs on GitHub, while internal developers work on both platforms. All roadmap planning and sprint tracking happens in Jira.
The challenge: Open source contributions on GitHub and internal development on GitLab both need to appear on Jira issues. The team cannot use GitHub-only or GitLab-only integrations without losing visibility into half their development activity.
How Jigit helps:
The result: The product team has unified visibility into all development - open source and proprietary. Sprint planning accounts for community contributions. Release notes accurately reflect all changes regardless of which platform they originated from.
