What it does

GitLab Connector receives GitLab push events through project webhooks and links commits to Jira issues. It extracts issue keys from commit messages, then records the messages as Jira comments, activities, work logs, or workflow transitions. Commit messages can reference multiple issues, trigger workflow transitions, and generate work logs. The add-on can restrict generated comment visibility by project role, support multiple Jira issue key formats, and create optional AI-generated commit summaries.
