simple command line client for Atlassian's Jira service written in Go
You can download one of the pre-built binaries for go-jira here.
You can build and install with Go:
go get gopkg.in/Netflix-Skunkworks/go-jira.v1/cmd/jira
go-jira uses a configuration hierarchy. When loading the configuration from disk it will recursively look through
all parent directories in your current path looking for a .jira.d directory. If your current directory is not
a child directory of your homedir, then your homedir will also be inspected for a .jira.d directory. From all of .jira.d directories
discovered go-jira will load a <command>.yml file (ie for jira list it will load .jira.d/list.yml) then it will merge in any properties from the config.yml if found. The configuration properties found in a file closests to your current working directory
will have precedence. Properties overriden with command line options will have final precedence.
The complicated configuration hierarchy is used because go-jira attempts to be context aware. For example, if you are working on a "foo" project and
you cd into your project workspace, wouldn't it be nice if jira ls automatically knew to list only issues related to the "foo" project? Likewise when you
cd to the "bar" project then jira ls should only list issues related to "bar" project. You can do this with by creating a configuration under your project
workspace at ./.jira.d/config.yml that looks like:
project: foo
You will need to specify your local jira endpoint first, typically in your homedir like:
mkdir ~/.jira.d
###### **Custom Commands**
Now you can create your own custom commands to do common operations with jira. Please see the details **Custom Commands** section below for more details. If you want to create a command `jira mine` that lists all the issues assigned to you now you can modify your `.jira.d/config.yml` file to add a `custom-commands` section like this:custom-commands:
- name: mine help: display issues assigned to me script: |- {{jira}} list --query "resolution = unresolved and assignee=currentuser() ORDER BY created"
Then the next time you run `jira help` you will see your usage:
$ jira mine --help usage: jira mine
