For posterity - just want to point out that the Git Integration for JIRA add-on does support Smart Commits + GitLab Integration (see video).

+1 As a company, we would love to be able to use git integration (and smart commits) from our repository server instead of Github/Bitbucket. All the reasons for this have been covered by previous comments.

+1 for TFS-Git integration to JIRA Cloud. Existing solutions all either require Bitbucket/Github or JIRA Server.

Maybe it's too late, but https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.allenta.jira.plugins.gitlab.gitlab-listener could be useful for your case

I opened a campaign for adding support for GitLab here https://42picky.tilt.com/jira-dvcs-connector-for-gitlab

How about GitLab support? Or to to make it easy, just allow people to connect to filesystem GIT repos and remote (HTTP) ones and you solve all use cases for other systems.

By adding later REST API, you can improve the experience of adding or removing the repositories, but fist make it work with any GIT or Mercurial repo, otherwise you should rename the plugin to "Bitbucket and GitHub Integration".

mcook Isn't Bamboo required in order to use that plugin properly? And if so, that is very cost prohibitive when taking into account the cost of licensing Bamboo plus the plugin plus moving away from current tools in order to use the open source and free git software.

We use Gerrit and have found success with the free JIRA/Gerrit plugin at https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.meetme.plugins.jira.gerrit-plugin however, we were really hoping to leverage the additional features which the DVCS connector has. Unfortunately it sounds like Atlassian simply will not back a free product without customers having to purchase even more heavily into Atlasssian products. It's this business model which makes it very difficult to continue to evangelize their products.

Hi Megan,

We are using the GIT plugin already but that does not allow for Smart Commits into JIRA from Gitlab. Moving to Bitbucket or Stash is not an option for us. Looks like we may need to develop our own plugin for smart commits into JIRA if time allows.

Adam

Thanks for raising this issue with us. We currently do not have any plans to add this support to the DVCS connector, however it sounds like the Git Integration Plugin will do what you're after. Please let me know if there is additional functionality you were hoping for that this plugin doesn't cover.

You could also try Bitbucket or Stash of course

Cheers,

Megan Cook

It seems nobody is working on this issue since May 2013, we are using JIRA commercially and we don't want to push our codes to third party repositories
