Using github issues as mylyn task repository? - eclipse

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:

Which Version Control systems integrate with Bitrix24?

I'm about to embark on an HTML remediation project. My client is using Bitrix as a task/issue tracker, but isn't currently using anything for Source/Version control.
I've searched up 'Bitrix' and assume that they mean 'Bitrix24'.
Is there a Version Control system which integrates with Bitrix24?
I'd like:
To be able to browse to Version Control from within the Bitrix interface
To link to commit hashes, line numbers and (release) tags from within Bitrix tasks/issues
To use Git rather than SVN
Bitrix has no such feature out from the box - see old topic on Bitrix support forum - https://www.bitrix24.com/support/forum/forum47/topic10287/
I think it is because of CRM-nature of the Bitrix.
You could link your task/issues in Bitrix with commits in GitLab/Bitbucket using third-party hooks:
for GitLab - https://github.com/lolweb/bxGitlab
for BitBucket - https://github.com/Web-LLC/bxGitlab
You could also try to link GitHub commits using Zappier + Bitrix24 free Zappier integration App https://www.bitrix24.com/apps/?app=b24io.zapieren
I have not used them, so don't know if they really work.
Also Bitrix24 has API https://www.bitrix24.com/apps/dev.php to build any integration, but it is a lot of work.

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/

Does Mylyn support using Subversion or Mercurial as a task repository?

One of my teammates said that he had at one point used Mylyn backed by Subversion as a task repository. I believe this was several versions of Mylyn ago, and I have not found any documentation about setting something like this up in any of my searching. Is this still a supported configuration and if so can you please let me know where I can download the appropriate connector.
If this isn't supported any longer do you have any recommendations for a lightweight task repository that is both free and easy to install and configure? Right now it's looking like Trac backed by Sqlite is the best option.
This might get you what you want:

JIRA GitHub Integration in an online hosted jira solution

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.
Regards,
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.
https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRASTUDIO/Integrating+GitHub+with+JIRA+Studio
If you're talking about JIRA Studio, they do not support any plugins except the ones they provide:

Difference between integrating GitHub with Atlassian JIRA Studio and doing it through FishEye?

What is the difference between integrating GitHub with Atlassian JIRA Studio and doing it through Atlassian Jira Studio plugin FishEye?
Pros/Cons?
Fisheye can be used as "WebSvn" tool and is needed to use for example Crucible for code reviews. In FishEye you can see the commits clearer than in Jira, and you can read the code much easier because of the really good code highlighting
FishEye OnDemand currently only supports subversion. FishEye creates a lot of extra data when working with git and uses an external process for git interaction, things that do not work well with Atlassian's multi-tenant hosted solution.
