This rule ensures a Jira issue key is included in the pull request title.

By mentioning the Jira issue key in the pull request title, it's possible to create a link between a specific Jira issue to the relevant pull requests.

Use case(s)

  • Create a logical link between planning (Jira) and the subsequent code change (GitHub)
  • Recommended requirement for SOC2 complaint

When does this rule fail?

When a pull request is created but fails to mention a Jira issue key in the pull request title.

In order for the integration to work, the Jira ticket number must be mentioned first:
e.g. "PROJ-123 add a README file to the project"
Adding brackets will fail the integration between GitHub and Jira
e.g. "[PROJ-123] add a README file to the project"
