Project management DevOps integration: Github : Freshservice

New-gen project management integrates with source control tools like GitHub to show details of all code changes made for a project task within the task itself. In addition to this, using the “workflow autopilot” feature, project managers can also automate status updates of tasks based on various events in source control tools.

For more details, refer to more details on how to configure workflow autopilot here.

The “Development” section inside task properties allows teams to know what code changes were made, details of code commits and pull requests, where the changes were approved, and take the next best action on the user story, bug fix, etc.
