Github comment autolink to jira issue

I was using gerrit for our code review in my previous company. When we were commit changes to gerrit, we use to write in comment as Closes: JIRA-1234.

When this message post to gerrit, it shows link to JIRA issue, like Closes:JIRA-1234. From git comment and git webpage, we can directly redirect to jira issue and we can change the workflow of that jira.

I joined new company, and they are not using gerrit. They have GitHub Enterprise setup. When I tried Closes: JIRA-1234 in git commit, it not shows the link.

When I contacted our github admin team and asked them, is there any specific settings I have to enable in our GitHub organization to enable this features, they inform, for some teams its working, for our team, its not working.

I tried to contact and enable this, but not able to enable that features.

Is there any way to check, why its working for some team ? or how can I enable that for our team?

I created JIRA OAuth application.

OAuth Application

With this, I am able to see the branches and commits in JIRA Development section. I get a link to GitHub from JIRA.

JIRA Commit and Pull request

But reverse, like link from GitHub to JIRA was not there.

It is possible Jira is not part of the organisation your team is part of in your GitHUb EE instance: see "Integrating JIRA with your organization's projects"

(As opposed to connecting Jira to GitHub, which does work in your case)

Update Oct. 2019, you now can set up an autolink reference and GitHub will automatically create links (to external systems) for you.

See "make Jira links clickable in GitHub" (only for GitHub Pro, Team, and Enterprise plans).
