Supercharge Your Workflow: How Kribik’s GIT Integration Connects Code to Tickets

Managing software projects with agile methodologies means keeping tasks clear, organized, and closely tied to actual development. Kribik’s powerful GIT integration does exactly that, bridging the gap between your team's codebase and your task management system.

Why Link Commits to Tickets?

Every developer knows the frustration of encountering code and wondering, "Why was this change made?" Clear documentation helps, but nothing beats seeing the original task, requirements, and conversations behind each commit. Kribik’s GIT integration solves this by allowing developers and project managers to easily trace every commit back to its corresponding ticket.

How to Link Commits to Tickets in Kribik

Linking tickets to commits in Kribik is straightforward:

• When committing code, simply include the ticket number in your commit messages, e.g., Fixes TICKET-123.

• Kribik automatically recognises these commit patterns and associates the commit with the specified ticket.

• Integration is seamless with popular platforms like GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket via webhooks.

Viewing Commit History Directly in Tickets

With Kribik, each ticket shows an intuitive commit history, making it effortless to understand exactly what changes have been made:

• Quickly view commit messages, authors, dates, and links directly to your GIT repositories.

• Easily access diffs and see precisely what code changed.

• Facilitate smooth code reviews by tying code directly to the tasks under review.

Practical Use Cases

Kribik’s GIT integration significantly streamlines several core workflows:

• Agile Sprints: Clearly track progress and completion status by linking sprint tasks directly to code changes.

• Ticket Assignments: Developers quickly understand their tasks by viewing related commits and associated changes.

• Code Review: Simplify peer reviews by instantly connecting code to specific tickets, ensuring changes align with documented requirements.

• Debugging and Issue Tracking: Identify precisely when and why bugs or unexpected behaviors were introduced.

Tips for Agile Teams Using GIT Integration

Maximise Kribik’s effectiveness in your agile environment by:

• Adopting clear commit message conventions (TICKET-ID: description).

• Reviewing linked commits during daily stand-ups or sprint reviews for transparency and accountability.

• Encouraging developers to reference tickets consistently to maintain high-quality documentation.
