GitLab

The GitLab integration connects your GitLab pipelines with Golive using Gitlab Components. With this integration, changes in GitLab - such as builds or deployments - are automatically reflected in Jira and Golive.

Requirements

• Golive App is configured on your Jira instance.

• CI/CD is configured using GitLab pipelines.

• If you are using GitLab on-premise, you may need to open the following routes:

  • https://gitlab.com (to download golive-gitlab components)

  • https://golive.apwide.net (to talk to Golive if you are using the on-premise version or the url of your Jira on-premise instance for data center version)

  • https://docker.io (to pull apwide/gitlab docker image)

If you have security concerns and prefer not to open these routes, you can fork the golive-gitlab repository and host the components on your own GitLab instance. Additionally, you can serve the apwide/gitlab Docker image from your own container registry.

Get Started

1. Open the Apwide Golive Components in the GitLab CI/CD Catalog.

2. Go to the Readme tab for configuration steps and examples of the send-environment-info and send-release-info GitLab Components.

Integration Use Cases

Track Application Deployments

Integrate GitLab merge requests with specific Environments in Golive. This allows teams to see which Jira tickets (features or fixes), represented by merge requests in GitLab, are currently deployed in specific Environments managed in Jira.

More information: Track Application Deployments

Track Environment Statuses

Sync Golive with GitLab CI/CD pipelines to automatically update the status of Environments in Jira. For instance, when a deployment is successfully completed in GitLab, Golive reflects this change in the corresponding environment within Jira, ensuring real-time accuracy in environment tracking.

Release Management Coordination

Use GitLab’s release and tagging features to inform environment status in Golive. When a new release is tagged in GitLab, Golive updates the status of related environments in Jira.
