After linking of your account, Jira automatically starts looking for commits that reference issue keys. synchronization of of Github commit id data will take time to reflect in Jira, In synchronization process, commits automatically reflected in issue. Admin use can enable or disable github repsoitories from syncing.

How to synchronization works with commit id.

Please follow below steps for synchronization of commits in Jira issues.

When a any developers commit anything, he should include a Jira Software issue key to the commit message, like this:

git commit -m "PROJ-123 add a README file to the project."
git push origin <branchname>

Jira uses issue key to includes the commits with an issue, so the commit can be find in the Development panel of the Jira Software issue.
