Issue Trackers

Jenkins X can work with issue trackers such as GitHub issues and Jira.

By default, Jenkins X will use GitHub for projects and issues. So if you haven't specified anything for either Git provider or Issue tracker, it will use GitHub for issues.

GitHub

1
jx create issue -t "lets make things more awesome"

1
jx get issues

Jira

In order to configure Jenkins X to use Jira as issue tracker, you have to do three steps.

  1. create a tracker configuration jx create tracker server ${trackerName} https://mycompany.atlassian.net/
  2. create a tracker login jx create tracker token -n ${trackerName} myEmailAddress
  3. configure your Jenkins X managed project to use this issue tracker instead jx edit config -k issues

Info

A file called jenkins-x.yml will be modified in your project source code which should be added to your git repository.
