Connect Jira planning with GitHub engineering work
Product and engineering managers track work in Jira. Engineers actually do the work in GitHub Issues alongside their code. Forcing engineers into Jira or PMs into GitHub creates friction either way. Unito syncs Jira issues and GitHub Issues bidirectionally so each side stays in its tool.
Sync code execution back into Jira automatically
PRs and commits referencing a Jira issue link automatically. When a PR merges, status flows back to Jira and the issue moves to "Done." No one updates Jira manually.
Map GitHub Issues to the Jira epic-story hierarchy
GitHub Issues pair with Jira stories or sub-tasks; milestones map to sprints or epics. Hierarchy stays intact so velocity reports and roadmaps pull from the same work.
Engineers stay in GitHub, PMs stay in Jira
Comments, status, assignee, and labels flow both ways. Engineers don't open Jira; PMs don't open GitHub to read status. The reconciliation work that lived in standup stops.

Frequently asked questions about GitHub Software and Jira
Issues sync bidirectionally with Jira issues. PR status (open, merged, closed) flows into a custom field on the linked Jira issue, so the issue closes when the PR merges.
GitHub labels map to Jira components, labels, or custom fields per flow. Map values one-to-one or use transformers when label naming differs across repos.
Yes. Run separate flows from one repo into different Jira projects, or use rules within a single flow to route Issues by label, milestone, or path.
Unito does what the native app doesn’t: bidirectional sync of Issue content, fields, comments, and hierarchy. Use both if you want commit-to-issue links plus complete two-way Issue sync.
