Jira DVCS connector

DETAILS: Tier: Free, Premium, Ultimate Offering: GitLab.com, Self-managed, GitLab Dedicated

WARNING: The Jira DVCS connector for Jira Cloud was deprecated in GitLab 15.1 and removed in 16.0. Use the GitLab for Jira Cloud app instead. The Jira DVCS connector was also deprecated and removed for Jira 8.13 and earlier. You can only use the Jira DVCS connector with Jira Data Center or Jira Server in Jira 8.14 and later. Upgrade your Jira instance to Jira 8.14 or later and reconfigure the Jira issues integration on your GitLab instance.

Use the Jira DVCS (distributed version control system) connector if you self-host your Jira instance with Jira Data Center or Jira Server and want to use the Jira development panel. The Jira DVCS connector is developed and maintained by Atlassian.

To configure the Jira DVCS connector, see the Atlassian documentation.

If you're on Jira Cloud, migrate to the GitLab for Jira Cloud app. For more information, see Install the GitLab for Jira Cloud app.

  3. On the left sidebar, select DVCS accounts.
  4. To refresh one or more repositories in a DVCS account:
    • For all repositories, next to the account, select the ellipsis ({ellipsis_h}) > Refresh repositories.
    • For a single repository:
      1. Select the account.
      2. Hover over the repository you want to refresh, and in the Last activity column, select Click to sync repository ({retry}).
