IntelliJ IDEA task integration with github
github, intellij-idea, issue-tracking, task
Solution
I've managed to get it to work
Here are the steps required in Intellij:
- Settings | Tasks | Servers...
- Add server with following details
- Username = GitHub user name
- Password = GitHub password
- Repository author = GitHub user name
- Repository = Name of project (e.g. "MultiBitMerchant")
- Click Test
If all is well you'll get success, failure is usually a 401 and means you've added something strange into the above.
To check that you are synchronizing against your Issues, create an Issue on GitHub if you haven't already.
- In Intellij, select Tools | Tasks and Contexts | Open task ...
- Use CTRL + Space (or equivalent) to get list of tasks
- Choose one then click OK
- Make your changes in accordance with the task (stay focused on its requirement)
- Commit (and push) to see your Issue reference placed as a commit comment for easy tracking
Hope this helps.
Problem
Has anyone successful made this work? I've followed the directions carefully, but I can't get my IDEA tasks to sync up with my issues list on github. In the project setup I have the cache enabled to sync issues every five minutes, and in the server configuration when i hit "test" the connection is successful. Does this feature actually work?
