Switching a plugin's issue reporting from Jira to Github Issues

[Chris Kilding]

I've got a plugin where I want to switch issue reporting from Jira to Github Issues. How would I go about that?

Regards,

Chris

My suggestion:

Step 1: Enable GitHub Issues. You should have repo admin permissions, if not, ask for that (or just for issues to be enabled) in INFRA.

Step 2: (Optional but would probably be nice) Migrate open issues from Jira to GitHub, i.e. file new issues in GH and close the Jira issues as duplicate, providing a link.

Step 3: File a PR updating your plugin's issue tracking metadata in https://github.com/jenkins-infra/repository-permissions-updater#managing-issue-trackers keeping Jira with report: false if there are historical issues, but making GH issues the preferred one.

I used this script to migrate mine: 

https://github.com/rantoniuk/jira-issues-importer

Then I used Jira bulk update to add a comment and close them all, and finished with deleting the component 

It depends how many issues you have.

I migrated about 10 repositories with up to ~50 issues in them

Thanks

I would also suggest using Gavin's plugins self service app to apply the recommended GitHub labels:

https://plugins-self-service-3ir4b.ondigitalocean.app/ 

Otherwise the issue template will try apply a label that doesn't exist by default
