Just curious, what do you think is so bad about Jira? I think it's miles ahead of other tools like Rally for example. What's your preference?
That's not saying much. Rally is probably the most overpriced, awful tracking software out there. I prefer Pivotal Tracker personally.
Tool X sucks. No, you set it up incorrectly
Tell me why it sucks?
Management sucks
Maybe your team/team and management is the problem.
Oh Hai, GitLab CEO here.
We will build whatever it is you are complaining about.

JIRA Core is a good issue tracker. However JIRA Agile is a dumpster fire, partly because JIRA Agile reinvents JIRA. Summary field? Yes, but also "Epic Name" field. Status field? Yes, but also "Epic Status" field. Priority field? Yes, but also "Rank" field. Subissues? Yes, but also "Epic Link" field. And then boards and sprints are weird. Boards are supposed to be just views, but then access permissions for closing sp…
My main gripe about JIRA, other than how abysmal it gets when you add a slew of custom fields and workflows all over the place, is that I can't sort on the boards based on all of these fields I've setup. I set priority and severity on every issue, yet I can't sort by those fields in the planner or board, that's infuriating to me.
I noticed absolutely no change in Github's product after the Microsoft news, and I'm 99% sure there will be no appreciable change after this news settles. I'm 100% sure that people are going to freak out and waste their time migrating to BitBucket or GitLab for the wrong reasons. As a Github user, there are a few things Github does that makes me unhappy, like not hyperlinking static text when they should, but who the…
The Microsoft deal hasn’t even closed yet.
So wait for the first full fiscal year after the deal closes, or the second if its late enough in the year.
Then you will hear logic like, “We’re not going to tell you what to make, but we won’t pay for that,” as if that’s different or even better than just setting the agenda.
I don't understand the negativity in this thread. Or why people are using this post as an impetus to (ostensibly) move to gitlab. Or lament the decline and fall of github. Nobody is forcing anyone to use Jira. Nobody is forcing anyone to use Github. You can continue to use both without adopting any of the UX or design or workflows or whatever of the other. This blog post is just saying "now we have an officially-supp…
People don't want to have to update whatever project management team their management uses.
Good News! That's why this integration exists.
1. This integration lets developers work on their code while automatically sending updates Jira so they don't have to.
2. When you create a commit, it can automatically transition a Jira issue so you don't have to go to Jira to do it.
3. Use smart commits to update the status in Jira, leave a comment, or log time without leaving your command line or GitHub.
4. When you create a branch in BB or GH it will automatically transition the issue in Jira so you don't have to.
5. When you merge a pull request in GH and BB it will automatically transition the issue in Jira so you don't have to.
6. Linking Jira Software to GitHub lets you see branches, commits, and pull requests right on the Jira issue.
7. Now everyone, even those pesky managers and program managers can see the status of work without asking you to take your headphones off, “bumping” their email in your inbox of “pinging” you for the 10th time in Slack. They can see your status right from the board without even clicking into the issue. 8. Search for Jira issues based on related GitHub information, such as open pull requests.

Ok, so finally time to move on to Gitlab, my weekend is gone! While from what I read GH issues are not going away, I won't be surprised if GH finally becomes a pure enterprisey product. My only concern is what happens when Gitlab is acquired? If someone from GL can confirm that they have serious checks and balances in place to not let the users who make Gitlab succeed be left to fend for themselves, can be a killing…
This....this makes no sense. An integration doesn't mean something else is going away. That's not how platforms work. FWIW, gitlab is going to get acquired...it has to. Probably by google, or oracle, or salesforce, or ibm, or hp (or whatever name they have these days), or redhat. And depending on which one it is, will be how ruined gitlab becomes, because all of those seem like terrible options, but I digress now.
And while it doesn't prevent an acquisition our recent fundraise makes it less likely https://about.gitlab.com/2018/09/19/announcing-100m-series-d...

I'm guessing they want to try and take some of the bitbucket market share back.
This reads like a wise move on GitHub's part. Head to head, GitHub wins against bitbucket 10 out of 10 times x infinity. But being very close to enterprise sales cycles, some pointy haired boss somewhere says "gee, we have a jira contract already and they'll give me this other piece of software (bitbucket) for next to nothing...it's got to be good enough for my devs, right?" Of course this is silly way of thinking, b…
Hard to imagine where GitHub trounces Bitbucket, but I am willing to listen
I see a lot of people complaining about JIRA in this thread, so here's my take: - I've used Trello, GitHub Projects/Issues, and other Project Management software; - While JIRA has a steep learning curve and is generally unpleasant to use, it is far and away the most customizable and powerful PM software I have used; - Despite JIRA's poor design choices and UX clunkiness, it is so powerful that I wouldn't use anything…
One time I tried to put the effort to learn it but gave up pretty quickly.
What does all this customization worth if only a small fraction of the users can successfully use it ?
There's literally one person in the company who has mastered it. Everyone else just get by with it.

There are a lot of engineers on HackerNews who have had terrible experiences with Jira (I'm one of them). You're correct, you don't have to migrate; However, if you work at a company where management all of a sudden realizes — "oh now we can integrate Jira for our tasks". It's a slippery slope down the Jira road. I've had 3 jobs where we used Jira and it was always a nightmare. At Uber ATG it sucked because it was sl…
What? I have used and i'm using jira for probably 7 years in 3 different companies with 6 different projects. I always took care of our workflow and small issues by the side. Once configured properly (which has nothing do to with magic) it works as advertised. there are a few small issues but not that relevant in daily life. We used atlassian online service and on premise.

Implying that it's not good simply because it's now owned by Atlassian? Trello is good for what it's designed for - simple lists of lists of notes.
It's probably implied that Trello one day will become Jira...
