Assign Jira issues to GitHub Copilot

This plugin for Jira integrates GitHub Copilot directly into Jira without Atlassian Rovo. Assign an issue, Copilot analyzes it and opens a pull request in your connected repository, and the result is posted back to the issue as a comment.

Assign to GitHub Copilot button on a Jira issue, with linked pull request and issue resolutions
