How to connect Jira and Gerrit

Question

I am using Gerrit and Jira. I want to connect with gerrit to Jira. When I review the code and comment something it will automatically update the jira comment as well. How to do this?

Answer 1

In your gerrit.config file try this:

[commentlink "jira"]
match = ([A-Z]+-[0-9]+)
link = http://your.jirs_side.net/browse/$1

Here's more information regarding the commentlink section.

Answer 2

Via this link you will find a list of several official gerrit plugins such as:

• hooks-jira : Plugin to integrate with Atlassian JIRA
• its-jira : Plugin to integrate with Atlassian JIRA. New project for 'plugins/hooks-jira'.
• I personally use jirret, which is easy to understand and modify
