    Jile GitLab Integration Feature - Tasks to Issues

    2 mins read

    Support Image
    • This feature outlines the configuration and functionality of the integration between Jile and GitLab (GitLab is the Source Code Management utility which handles all development activities such as code branching, code patches and merges).
    • This integration enables seamless creation and management of GitLab issues directly from Jile and ensures synchronization between tasks and issues. Additionally, webhook updates from GitLab to DevPlus ensure that the task and issue statuses are in sync.
    • This feature helps developers to link development tasks to the issue entity in GitLab, thereby establishing a traceability between code merges in GitLab with the user story.
    • The integration allows multiple GitLab projects to be associated with a single Jile task, with the ability to update, add, or remove projects.

    Here's What is New

    • Select multiple GitLab projects to create the issues in Git Lab when creating or editing a task in Jile.
    • Only the projects within specific configured GitLab group IDs appear if the group ID is configured.
    • If the group ID is not configured at the workspace level, all the projects within the GitLab URL configured in the domain setup will be shown.
    • Task status, effort, and owner will be synchronized between Jile and GitLab.
    • Manage the task status and update the effort based on GitLab issue closure using Webhooks and APIs.
    • If the Source Code Management system is GitLab, Jile supports connectivity to GitLab. When a Developer creates a development task, a GitLab issue is created in each of the GitLab projects selected and linked to the task.
    • Based on the actions being performed in GitLab to close code change activities related to the GitLab issue, tracking and monitoring can be performed in Jile.
    • Closure of all related issues will allow the closure of the task in Jile.

    What Makes This Update Useful

    • Easily manages development tasks.
    • Enables seamless tracking and reporting of code change.
    • A good fit for scenarios where GitLab is the Source Code Manager.
