About

Lightweight FastAPI server to serve GitHub bot that synchronizes issues from GitHub to Jira.

In order to use this bot, you need to create a GitHub App. GitHub App registers application that should receive webhooks on selected events.

Client side configuration

In order to use this bot, you need to create .github/.jira_sync_config.yaml file in your repository. The file should contain the following fields:

settings:
    # Jira project key to create the issue in
  jira_project_key: "MTC"
  
  # Dictionary mapping GitHub issue status to Jira issue status
  status_mapping:
    opened: Untriaged
    closed: done
    # (Optional) Use different status for GitHub issues closed as not planned (instead of closed as
    # completed)
    # https://github.blog/changelog/2022-03-10-the-new-github-issues-march-10th-update/#%F0%9F%95%B5%F0%9F%8F%BD%E2%99%80%EF%B8%8F-issue-closed-reasons
    # If not specified, `closed` status will be used.
    not_planned: rejected
    
  # (Optional) Jira project components that should be attached to the created issue
  # Component names are case-sensitive
  components:
    - IoT
    - DACH TT
      
  # (Optional) GitHub labels. Only issues with one of those labels will be synchronized.
  # If not specified, all issues will be synchronized
  labels:
    - bug
    - custom
      
  # (Optional) (Default: false) Add a new comment in GitHub with a link to Jira created issue
  add_gh_comment: false
