# GitLab.com for Jira Cloud app **(FREE)**
|
|
|
|
You can integrate GitLab and Jira Cloud using the
|
|
[GitLab.com for Jira Cloud](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1221011/gitlab-com-for-jira-cloud)
|
|
app in the Atlassian Marketplace.
|
|
|
|
Only Jira users with administrator access can install or configure
|
|
the GitLab.com for Jira Cloud app.
|
|
|
|
## Install the GitLab.com for Jira Cloud app **(FREE SAAS)**
|
|
|
|
If you use GitLab.com and Jira Cloud, you can install the GitLab.com for Jira Cloud app.
|
|
If you do not use both of these environments, use the [Jira DVCS Connector](dvcs.md) or
|
|
[install GitLab.com for Jira Cloud app for self-managed instances](#install-the-gitlabcom-for-jira-cloud-app-for-self-managed-instances).
|
|
We recommend the GitLab.com for Jira Cloud app, because data is
|
|
synchronized in real time. The DVCS connector updates data only once per hour.
|
|
|
|
The user configuring the GitLab.com for Jira Cloud app must have
|
|
at least the Maintainer role in the GitLab.com namespace.
|
|
|
|
This integration method supports [Smart Commits](dvcs.md#smart-commits).

For a walkthrough of the integration with GitLab.com for Jira Cloud app, watch
|
|
[Configure GitLab.com Jira Could Integration using Marketplace App](https://youtu.be/SwR-g1s1zTo) on YouTube.
|
|
|
|
To install the GitLab.com for Jira Cloud app:
|
|
|
|
1. In Jira, go to **Jira Settings > Apps > Find new apps**, then search for GitLab.
|
|
1. Select **GitLab.com for Jira Cloud**, then select **Get it now**, or go to the
|
|
[App in the marketplace directly](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1221011/gitlab-com-for-jira-cloud).
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. After installing, to go to the configurations page, select **Get started**.
|
|
This page is always available under **Jira Settings > Apps > Manage apps**.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. If not already signed in to GitLab.com, you must sign in as a user with
|
|
the Maintainer role to add namespaces.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. To open the list of available namespaces, select **Add namespace**.
|
|
|
|
1. Identify the namespace you want to link, and select **Link**. Only Jira site
|
|
administrators are permitted to add or remove namespaces for an installation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
NOTE:
|
|
The GitLab.com user only needs access when adding a new namespace. For syncing with
|
|
Jira, we do not depend on the user's token.
|
|
|
|
After a namespace is added:
|
|
|
|
- All future commits, branches, and merge requests of all projects under that namespace
|
|
are synced to Jira.
|
|
- From GitLab 13.8, past merge request data is synced to Jira.
|
|
|
|
Support for syncing past branch and commit data is tracked [in this issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/263240).
|
|
|
|
## Update the GitLab.com for Jira Cloud app
|
|
|
|
Most updates to the app are fully automated and don't require any user interaction. See the
|
|
[Atlassian Marketplace documentation](https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/marketplace/upgrading-and-versioning-cloud-apps/)
|
|
for details.
|
|
|
|
If the app requires additional permissions, [the update must first be manually approved in Jira](https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/marketplace/upgrading-and-versioning-cloud-apps/#changes-that-require-manual-customer-approval).
|
|
|
|
## Install the GitLab.com for Jira Cloud app for self-managed instances **(FREE SELF)**
|
|
|
|
If your GitLab instance is self-managed, you must follow some
|
|
extra steps to install the GitLab.com for Jira Cloud app, and your GitLab instance must be accessible by Jira.
|
|
|
|
Each Jira Cloud application must be installed from a single location. Jira fetches
|
|
a [manifest file](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/connect-app-descriptor/)
|
|
from the location you provide. The manifest file describes the application to the system. To support
|
|
self-managed GitLab instances with Jira Cloud, you can either:
|
|
|
|
- [Install the application manually](#install-the-application-manually).
|
|
- [Create a Marketplace listing](#create-a-marketplace-listing).
|
|
|
|
### Install the application manually
|
|
|
|
You can configure your Atlassian Cloud instance to allow you to install applications
|
|
from outside the Marketplace, which allows you to install the application:
|
|
|
|
1. Sign in to your Jira instance as an administrator.
|
|
1. Place your Jira instance into
|
|
[development mode](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/getting-started-with-connect/#step-2--enable-development-mode).
|
|
1. Sign in to your GitLab application as a user with administrator access.
|
|
1. Install the GitLab application from your Jira instance, as
|
|
described in the [Atlassian developer guides](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/getting-started-with-connect/#step-3--install-and-test-your-app):
|
|
1. In your Jira instance, go to **Apps > Manage Apps** and select **Upload app**:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. For **App descriptor URL**, provide the full URL to your manifest file, based
|
|
on your instance configuration. By default, your manifest file is located at `/-/jira_connect/app_descriptor.json`. For example, if your GitLab self-managed instance domain is `app.pet-store.cloud`, your manifest file is located at `https://app.pet-store.cloud/-/jira_connect/app_descriptor.json`.
|
|
1. Select **Upload**. Jira fetches the content of your `app_descriptor` file and installs
|
|
it.
|
|
1. If the upload is successful, Jira displays a modal panel: **Installed and ready to go!**
|
|
To configure the integration, select **Get started**.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Disable [development mode](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/getting-started-with-connect/#step-2--enable-development-mode) on your Jira instance.
|
|
|
|
The **GitLab.com for Jira Cloud** app now displays under **Manage apps**. You can also
|
|
select **Get started** to open the configuration page rendered from your GitLab instance.
|
|
|
|
NOTE:
|
|
If a GitLab update makes changes to the application descriptor, you must uninstall,
|
|
then reinstall the application.
|
|
|
|
### Create a Marketplace listing
|
|
|
|
If you prefer to not use development mode on your Jira instance, you can create
|
|
your own Marketplace listing for your instance. This enables your application
|
|
to be installed from the Atlassian Marketplace.
|
|
|
|
For full instructions, review the Atlassian [guide to creating a marketplace listing](https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/marketplace/installing-cloud-apps/#creating-the-marketplace-listing).
|
|
To create a Marketplace listing:
|
|
|
|
1. Register as a Marketplace vendor.
|
|
1. List your application using the application descriptor URL.
|
|
- Your manifest file is located at: `https://your.domain/your-path/-/jira_connect/app_descriptor.json`
|
|
- We recommend you list your application as `private`, because public
|
|
applications can be viewed and installed by any user.
|
|
1. Generate test license tokens for your application.
|
|
|
|
NOTE:
|
|
This method uses [automated updates](#update-the-gitlabcom-for-jira-cloud-app)
|
|
the same way as our GitLab.com Marketplace listing.
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshoot GitLab.com for Jira Cloud app

### Browser displays sign-in message when already signed in
