Bidirectional GitHub – Azure DevOps integration

Bi-directional real-time sync with OpsHub Integration Manager

Sync GitHub and Azure DevOps so commit activity and work tracking stay in sync automatically. As developers work on issues, make commits and manage pull requests in GitHub, Azure DevOps work items reflect that in near real time, keeping planning, execution, and delivery aligned without manual coordination.

Script free automated sync across systems

Teams often manage issues in GitHub while relying on Azure DevOps for planning and delivery. When these systems work in silos, updates fall out of sync, visibility drops, and teams spend time piecing together the information across tools.

OpsHub Integration Manager (OIM) delivers seamless, scalable synchronization between GitHub and Azure DevOps without custom scripts or plugins. Developers work uninterrupted, product managers remain informed with accurate issue status, commit information, and stakeholders gain end-to-end traceability from planning to release.

Trusted by the world’s leading enterprises

Why choose OpsHub to integrate GitHub and Azure DevOps?

Integration that aligns with how teams already work

OpsHub works with existing workflows. Developers stay in GitHub while planning and tracking continues in Azure DevOps. Teams don’t need to change processes or adopt a new tool. Everything stays in sync.

Enterprise-grade reliability and integrity at scale

Designed for large, globally distributed teams. Maintains reliable synchronization across thousands of work items and repositories with no performance degradation.

Rich data synchronization with full context

Syncs custom fields, statuses, labels, links, attachments and in-line content with full accuracy, preserving context and history across GitHub and Azure DevOps.

Why integrate GitHub and Azure DevOps?

Issue progress gets lost between systems : When GitHub Issues and Azure DevOps work items aren’t connected, updates fail to flow consistently. Teams lose clarity on which issues are active, blocked, or complete. Syncing both systems unifies data for better decisions.
Sync live work item status with development : Without integration, teams manually update Azure DevOps after GitHub activity. Automating state transitions keeps work item status aligned with development progress and removes manual effort.
Context disappears as work moves forward : Key information added during development often stays isolated in GitHub. When it doesn’t sync to Azure DevOps, teams lose decision history. Integration preserves full context across systems.
Changes cause confusion without traceability : When commits aren’t linked to tracked work, teams can’t easily see how issues are resolved. Syncing commit details with Azure DevOps work items restores clarity and traceability.
Keep code changes tied to planned work : When commits aren’t linked to tracked items, it becomes difficult to see which planned work they relate to. Syncing commits with Azure DevOps work items ensures code changes align with planned tasks and priorities.

How OpsHub integrates Azure DevOps and GitHub

OpsHub Integration Manager (OIM) connects GitHub and Azure DevOps through secure APIs. The integration runs outside both systems to keep work items, issues and commits seamlessly connected. Issue updates and commit details (who made the commit, when and what change) are synchronized back to Azure DevOps, allowing teams to track progress and understand related development activity directly from work items. As delivery structures evolve, teams can move or reorganize work across Azure DevOps projects, boards, or GitHub repositories without breaking links or losing history.

Built on a resilient architecture, OIM keeps GitHub reliably synchronized with Azure DevOps, even during failures or downtime. It secures sensitive information with end–to-end data encryption and user-based access controls, on-premise and on cloud.

The outcome: GitHub development and Azure DevOps delivery tracking remain continuously connected, accurate, and traceable, supporting confident planning, execution, and change without manual intervention.

Steps to integrate GitHub and Azure DevOps

Step

Set up connection to GitHub and Azure DevOps.

Step

Select projects and entities to be synchronized.

Step

Define the sync direction and map fields across both systems.

Step

Activate the sync and monitor real-time performance via OIM’s dashboard.

Use Case: GitHub Azure DevOps integration

Problem Statement

GitHub commits are often disconnected from Azure DevOps work items, making it difficult to understand whether development activity aligns with active sprint work.

Goal:

Give teams clear visibility into GitHub commit activity linked to Azure DevOps work items, keeping development aligned with planned backlog items.

During sprint execution, a bug is logged and tracked as a work item in Azure DevOps and added to the active sprint backlog.
The dev team in GitHub picks up the work item synced from Azure DevOps and begins implementing the fix.
As the developer commits code changes in GitHub, OpsHub Integration Manager synchronizes commit details back to the corresponding Azure DevOps work item.
As work progresses, updates made to the work item status in Azure DevOps are synchronized back to the linked GitHub Issue, keeping developers aware of progress without switching tools.
