# External issue tracker
GitLab has a great issue tracker but you can also use an external one such as
Jira, Redmine, YouTrack, or Bugzilla. Issue trackers are configurable per GitLab project
and allow you to do the following:
GitLab has a great [issue tracker](../user/project/issues/index.md) but you can also use an external one
such as Jira, Redmine, YouTrack, or Bugzilla. External issue trackers are configurable per GitLab project.
- you can reference these external issues inside GitLab interface
(merge requests, commits, comments) and they will be automatically converted
into links
Once configured, you can reference external issues using the format CODE-123, where CODE is a unique code
for the tracker, and 123 is the issue number in the tracker. These references in GitLab
merge requests, commits, or comments are automatically converted to links to the issues.
You can have enabled both external and internal GitLab issue trackers in parallel. The **Issues** link always opens the internal issue tracker and in case the internal issue tracker is disabled the link is not visible in the menu.
You can keep GitLab's issue tracker enabled in parallel or disable it. When enabled, the **Issues** link in the
GitLab menu always opens the internal issue tracker. When disabled, the link is not visible in the menu.
