Managed Git Repositories

Administrators can create and manage Git repositories directly from FishEye on their own servers. FishEye Git repository management gives you the flexibility to do the following:

• Create forks and clones of existing projects.
• Manage permissions easily with push and pull access per repository.
• Visualize the hierarchy of repository forks.
• Explore and visualize changes with the commit graph

Smart Commits

Smart Commits allow repository committers to perform actions like transitioning JIRA issues or creating Crucible code reviews by embedding specific commands into their commit messages.

FishEye 2.7 comes bundled with support for creating and updating Crucible reviews, as well as transitioning, commenting, and logging work to JIRA issues.

Placed into a commit message, the example below would close the JIRA issue BUG-123.

The following example would create and start a review for the current changeset in the project CR-TEST, as well as add the user jdoe as a reviewer:

For more details on using Smart Commits, please see the User's guide to Smart Commits.

JIRA issue transitioning requires at least version 3.4.5 of the JIRA FishEye plugin. It can be downloaded using the Atlassian plugin manager from within JIRA or manually downloaded from the Atlassian plugin exchange.

Smart Commits are extensible via plugins, allowing you to simply implement your own handlers to integrate with services used in your workplace. Please see the Smart Commit Tutorial for developer resources on creating a Smart Commit plugin.

By default, smart commits are disabled if the FishEye instance has any Mercurial or Git repositories. Please see the Smart Commits administrator's guide for more details.
