GitLab has a great issue tracker but you can also use an external one such as
|
2016-06-26 13:36:43 -04:00
|
|
|
Jira, Redmine, or Bugzilla. Issue trackers are configurable per GitLab project and allow
|
2016-01-08 06:43:33 -05:00
|
|
|
you to do the following:
|
2014-01-24 06:09:33 -05:00
|
|
|
|
2016-01-08 06:43:33 -05:00
|
|
|
- the **Issues** link on the GitLab project pages takes you to the appropriate
|
|
|
|
|
issue index of the external tracker
|
|
|
|
|
- clicking **New issue** on the project dashboard creates a new issue on the
|
|
|
|
|
external tracker
|

|
|
|
- you can reference these external issues inside GitLab interface
|
|
|
|
|
(merge requests, commits, comments) and they will be automatically converted
|
|
|
|
|
into links

|
|
To save you the hassle from configuring each project's service individually,
|
|
|
|
|
GitLab provides the ability to set Service Templates which can then be
|
|
|
|
|
overridden in each project's settings.
