Question: Is it possible to create tickets for a repo without granting read access to code?
If not, is the work around to create a repo just for tickets that everyone has access to? Is it even practical at this point?
Has anyone successfully pulled this off at their org?
To actually answer your question, you can have projects that span multiple repos, but you can't have repos that only have permissions for issues.
In my org, we have a few different repos for documentation + issues related to specific groups and utilize those repos heavily. We also have a couple code repos and anything specific to that codebase is stored there. We use zenhub though as well to help organize / track stuff.
Team of 8 devs + other supporting roles. Devs are happy with it, PM and portfolio management not so much, as you loose a lot and GitHub projects is still fairly new.
Why did we do this? We were acquired and the new corporate has different ideas and we lost Jira. Project managers end up manually syncing status of epic tickets between GitHub and their project management tools. We make it work, but much more labour intensive the Jira+Jira Portfolio
what's your underlying motivation to eliminate jira & notion?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Not the OP here, but I think anyone who has used Jira understands the want to get rid of it—it is simply trash.
Not saying that it isn't, but I'm curious, what's your reason for saying Jira is trash?
I guess one question is, why don't you want people to have read access to the code? IMHO if they aren't trustworthy to view code, they probably aren't trustworthy to be submitting tickets (or employed in any other roles in the org as well). To actually answer your question, you can have projects that span multiple repos, but you can't have repos that only have permissions for issues. In my org, we have a few differen…
Person might have been trustworthy when they were hired and they might change their mind at some point.
Even better - they still might be trustworthy but their computer got compromised and someone might be using them.
Maybe some other employee has problems with them and since they have access malicious employee can indicate trustworthy one in some way. Like posting copy of code somewhere online with nickname used by that one.
I know such things don’t happen often but even for mundane things like phone numbers you just don’t give phone number of your friend to a person you both know without asking that friend in first place.
