  4. Authenticate with your GitHub account;

  5. [Optional] Select which categories will be available on Jira issues.

All done. Now, you can access information from the linked repository from your Jira project.

You can only link a repository at a time. The “Unlink repository” is in the context menu next to the repository details.

Using the app

On an issue page, click the Apps button and select “GitHub Repo Links” to add the app. The app loads in a few moments, and you can now access all the categories selected in the app setup.
