Hi @Vijendra Malhotra and welcome to the community! 

To create links from GitHub to Jira, you need to set up "Autolink references" in GitHub. Here's how to do it:

• Navigate to your GitHub repository and select "Settings".
• Choose "Autolink references".
• Click on "Add Autolink references".
  • Select "Alphanumeric".
  • In "Reference prefix", enter your JiraKey followed by a hyphen (For example: TSU-).
  • For "Target URL", use the format https://yoursite.atlassian.net/browse/[Your JiraKey]-<num> (Example: https://yoursite.atlassian.net/browse/TSU-<num>).

This setup will enable automatic linking between your GitHub commits and your Jira tasks.

I had the same issue where I saw the commits in Jira but no links in e.g. PR descriptions. I found that if I wrote:

[PROJECT-103] (instead of `PROJECT-103`), it did link.

thanks for this.

Do i have to do this manual setup for all my repos ?

I think you have to enter this per repo. Different repos might go to different Jira projects, and then you need to refer to the correct Jira-/ProjectKey.
