Introduction

In dev ML at https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r0e44a477ab39efa2b5d4c8816b67d381864a7bf60728d2915531e926%40%3Cdev.ofbiz.apache.org%3E we started a discussion about Pro and Cons with GH (GitHub)+Git and Jira+Git.

This page is intended to capture the pros and cons regarding each for the project.



Positive aspects of Github+Git versus JIRA+Git

Github + GitJIRA + Git
  • Tight integration between Github and Git
  • More known among developers
  • Simple merge workflow (1 push button)
  • Intrinsic tools available to version & release (git aspect)
  • Enables developers in an easy way (forking/development collaborations)
  • More known in the enterprise world
  • Success story for many projects of the ASF
  • Lots of defined dashboards/overviews/etc. to provide insights to (potential) adopters and contributors
  • Well defined integration between JIRA and Git
  • Well defined separations of functions between JIRA and Git
  • Project can define own fields/workflow (JIRA)
  • Current setup of JIRA enables non-privileged contributors to participate in workflows (i.e take control to move forward, etc.)

Negative aspects of Github+Git versus JIRA+GIT

Github + GitJIRA + Git
  • Less suited for project management reports (lack of dashboards etc per current setup of the report - Not easy for potential adopters to get a feel of the project)

  • INFRA is required for every workflow change to GITHUB

  • requires additional plugins to do stuff (ref #4)
  • Legacy tools need to be kept (for history sake, etc.)
  • Current setup only favours privileged contributors to participate in workflows.
  • Loosely coupled integration between JIRA+GIT
