OctoTools: GitHub & JIRA Integration Add-on for Chrome
OctoTools is a free Chrome add-on developed by OctoTools that provides seamless integration between GitHub and JIRA. This add-on extends the GitHub issues view and the JIRA detail view for issues, allowing users to easily cross-link these two systems when used together. It also extends the Zube issue detail view for those using Zube.
One of the key features of OctoTools is the ability to configure it on a per-repository basis, allowing users to link a GitHub repository to a JIRA server and project. Once configured, OctoTools automatically detects JIRA project references in GitHub issue comments and translates them into clickable links. It also adds a new JIRA panel to the issue detail view, which is populated by dynamically fetching data from the associated JIRA issue.
Furthermore, OctoTools enhances the JIRA experience by fetching data for GitHub issue references and displaying it on the right-hand panel of the JIRA issue detail. This makes it easy for users to cross-manage issues in both JIRA and GitHub, streamlining their workflow and improving collaboration.
With OctoTools, GitHub and JIRA integration becomes effortless, allowing users to seamlessly navigate between the two platforms and stay updated on all relevant issue information.
