What it does

The integration adds GitHub functions to Jira's issue view. It can create, list, compare, and delete branches, and apply prefixes such as feature, bugfix, hotfix, release, or custom. It provides access to commits, pull requests, tags, build statuses, and Git command snippets from an issue. Connections can use OAuth or a personal access token for GitHub.com, or a personal access token for self-hosted GitHub.
