JIRA GitHub Integration in an online hosted jira solution - github

I know there is a github jira plugin, which is a .jar https://github.com/atlassian/jira-github-connector-plugin , how do I add this to an online hosted jira solution.
Basically we'd like to see commit activity, update time in jira tickets with a github commit message and the "source" tab should show github project rather than the default svn that jira provides.

Noj.

Came across this question today while searching, figured I would add in the link from Jira. Must not have been available at the time this question was asked.

If you're talking about JIRA Studio, they do not support any plugins except the ones they provide:

AzureDevops to Jira integration

In our project, we are using Azure git for the repo and we are doing the commit in Visual studio 2019.
I have a requirement to show the Jira numbers in the "related work item section" while committing the code. Please help
Visual Studio Related Work Item
I am afraid the Jira numbers cannot be shown in the related work item section of VS2019. This feature is intergrated with azured devop. The field related work item section can only show the work items in your azure devops project.
If you want to link the code commit to a jira issue. You can use the the Git Integration for Jira Cloud app, or Azure Git Listener for Jira app to connect your azure repo to your Jira cloud. Then you just need to include jira issue numbers in your commit comment. You can check this thread for more information.
If you want manage jira issues from VS 2019 you can check out Atlassian Connector for Visual Studio.
You can also check out the official extension Jira and Bitbucket for VSCode.
You can also try syncing your Jira issue with azure devops. Please check out the detailed steps here. Then you will be able to view the work items in the related work item section field of VS2019, but these work items are synced to azure devops from Jira, they are not the originAL Jira issue from Jira cloud

API for releasing actions to Github Marketplace

Is there an API or a programmatic way to release an action to Github Marketplace? Most actions/APIs are for creating a release in the Repo itself but releasing to marketplace seems like a UI only feature. Does anyone if there's an API or cli method for doing so?
It is true, as mentioned in GitHub Marketplace, that:
Anyone can publish an action in GitHub Marketplace as long as they meet the terms of service. Unlike apps, GitHub Actions listed in GitHub Marketplace are not verified by GitHub.
In that regard, the process could benefit from an API.
But while there is a GitHub Marketplace API, it does not include the publication process itself, which remains a manual process for now.

Jira Issues (User Stories) integrated with GIT Issues (Developer Tasks)

All,
How do you associate a GitHub issue (developer task) to a Jira issue (user story).
And how do you configure Jira to have full visibility into GitHub issue status, and commits?
As background, we currently use Jira Cloud.
JIRA integrates with Atlassian Stash. You can set up integrations to change the status of the JIRA according to things like when a pull request is opened or merged. You will also have links from the JIRA page to see the individual commits. See the JIRA INTEGRATION section on the link.

Where to host Eclipse Update Site

I have a couple of Eclipse extension projects hosted on GitHub. The problem is that I can't see where to host the related update site. It is in fact not possible on GitHub to have a direct url (raw) to a folder (the UpdateSite PRoject) as you can see here GitHub: URL to raw files. It seems the same thing holds for Google Drive :(
A couple of options I guess: SourceForge, Amazon S3 (with CloudFront), Bintray.
UPDATE:
I switched to GitHub Pages after Bintray has shut down.
This is the new post about that:
https://www.lorenzobettini.it/2021/03/publishing-an-eclipse-p2-composite-repository-on-github-pages/
OLD:
I now use bintray and I documented the whole process for publishing a composite update site to bintray here: http://www.lorenzobettini.it/2016/02/publish-an-eclipse-p2-composite-repository-on-bintray/
OLD 2:
I use sourceforge for the update site (aka p2 repository) of all my projects. I recently published a blog post detailing all the steps to achieve that http://www.lorenzobettini.it/2015/01/publish-an-eclipse-p2-repository-on-sourceforge-with-rsync/

Using github issues as mylyn task repository?

I'm looking for a way to integrate Eclipse/Mylyn with github's project-issues.
I'm aware of the Mylyn-github-connector and the smilebase project, but - unless I'm totally wrong - both connectors only allow to associate existing tasks with github commits. There is no option to use github issues as a task repository.
I also found this slightly related question / answer, but besides the fact that the provided link is dead it seems to focus on the connector itself (not the task repository)
Thanks for answering,
Jan
This is the connector you want: org.eclipse.mylyn.github (it is a fork of the one posted in the related question). I have been using it and it works great.
The GitHub Mylyn Connector is now an official Eclipse project under EGit.
The 1.0 release was part of Indigo and is available from the EGit update site under the Collaboration category:
http://download.eclipse.org/egit/updates
1.1 nightlies are also available with support for pull requests:
