Git for Jira Home

With a few clicks, you can drop in code snippets, entire files, or even visual assets like Markdown documents and diagrams. Git for Jira supports embedding code, Markdown, and diagrams from your repositories, so you can keep technical details and supporting documentation close to the issues they belong to.

You’re not limited to static embeds either. Just like our dedicated diagramming and Markdown apps, Git for Jira lets you create new content on the issue itself. Whether you’re sketching out a system diagram, drafting technical notes in Markdown, or pasting in a quick code sample, everything stays stored and indexed with the issue.

Security is built in. Git for Jira uses OAuth authentication, so you can safely include content from both public and private repositories. Access controls respect your repository permissions, meaning only the right people on your team will see sensitive files.

And because every piece of embedded content is indexed, you can browse across projects and quickly find the code, diagrams, or Markdown files you’ve included in Jira. This makes your issues a true hub for both planning and implementation.

If you’re new, getting started is simple: connect your repository, open an issue, and embed your first file. From there, you can explore advanced features like browsing repos in Jira, embedding private content with OAuth, and mixing in live-created Markdown or diagrams alongside your source files.

With Git for Jira, your issues become more than tasks—they become living records of the code, documentation, and designs that drive your work.
