This repository contains two example GitHub actions for Jira automation. Either of these should be modified to meet specific requirements.

A. Comment on Jira Issue on commit

• add-comment-to-issue.yml
• On push, find an associated Jira issue from the commits and post a comment to that issue.
• Comments take the form "<user> pushed to <branch> in <repository>"

B. Move issue to Done state when commit message ends with substring CLOSE ISSUE

• transition-issue.yml
• On push, find an associated Jira issue from the commits
• If the commit substring ends with CLOSE ISSUE, move the Jira issue into Done state

The following key-value pairs need to be added to GitHub Secrets for the repositories where the GitHub Actions are to be run:

• JIRA_API_TOKEN

  • Create the Jira API token from the Account Settings > Security > API token

• JIRA_BASE_URL

  • <your_domain>.jira.com

• JIRA_USER_EMAIL

  • The email associated with the Jira API token.

The following three GitHub Marketplace Actions are utilized for this automation:

• Jira Login: https://github.com/marketplace/actions/jira-login
• Jira Find Issue Key: https://github.com/marketplace/actions/jira-find-issue-key
• Jira Add Comment: https://github.com/marketplace/actions/jira-add-comment
• Jira Issue Transition: https://github.com/marketplace/actions/jira-issue-transition

• Only attempt to run Comment on Issue if a corresponding Jira issue is found
