go-jira
simple command line client for Atlassian's Jira service written in Go
Synopsis
jira ls -p GOJIRA # list all unresolved issues for project GOJRIA
jira ls -p GOJIRA -a mothra # as above also assigned to user mothra
jira ls -p GOJIRA -w mothra # lists GOJIRA unresolved issues watched by user mothra
jira ls -p GOJIRA -r mothra # list GOJIRA unresolved issues reported by user mothra
jira ls -t table -p GOJIRA # list all unresolved issues in pretty table output
jira view GOJIRA-321 # print Issue using "view" template
jira GOJIRA-321 # same as above
jira edit GOJIRA-321 # open up the issue in an editor, when you exit the
# editor the issue will post the updates to the server
# edit the issue, using the overirdes on the command line, skip the interactive editor:
jira edit GOJIRA-321 --noedit \
-o assignee=mothra \
-o comment="mothra, please take care of this." \
-o priority=Major
jira create -p GOJIRA # create new "Bug" type issue for project GOJIRA
jira create -p GOJIRA -i Task # create new Task type issue
jira trans close GOJIRA-321 # close issue, with interactive editor to set fields
jira close GOJIRA-321 --edit # same as above
# close the issue, set the resolution, and skip interactive editor:
jira trans close GOJIRA-321 -o resolution="Won't Fix" --noedit
# same as above
jira close GOJIRA-321 -o resolution="Won't Fix"
jira repopen GOJIRA-321 -m "reopening" # reopen issue
jira watch GOJIRA-321 # add self as watcher to the issue
jira comment GOJIRA-321 -m "done yet?" # add comment to the issue
jira take GOJIRA-321 # assign issue to self
jira give GOJIRA-321 mothra # assign issue to user mothra
# create local project config to set defaults
mkdir .jira.d
echo "project: GOJIRA" > .jira.d/config.yml
jira ls # list all unresolved issues for project GOJRIA
jira ls -a mothra # as above also assigned to user mothra
jira ls -w mothra # lists GOJIRA unresolved issues watched by user mothra
jira ls -r mothra # list GOJIRA unresolved issues reported by user mothra
jira ls -t table # list all unresolved issues in pretty table output
jira create # create new "Bug" type issue for project GOJIRA
jira create -i Task # create new Task type issue
# make the table template your default "list" template:
jira export-templates -t table
mv $HOME/.jira.d/templates/table $HOME/.jira.d/templates/list
Download
You can download one of the pre-built binaries for go-jira here.
Build
git clone git@github.com:Netflix-Skunkworks/go-jira.git
cd go-jira
export GOPATH=$(pwd)
export GOBIN=$GOPATH/bin
export PATH=$GOBIN:$PATH
cd src/github.com/Netflix-Skunkworks/go-jira/jira
go get -v
- If you do have a GOPATH setup, these are the standard steps to build:
cd $GOPATH
git clone git@github.com:Netflix-Skunkworks/go-jira.git src/github.com/Netflix-Skunkworks/go-jira
cd src/github.com/Netflix-Skunkworks/go-jira/jira
go get -v
Configuration
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 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 heirarchy 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
cat <<EOM >~/.jira.d/config.yml
endpoint: https://jira.mycompany.com
EOM
Dynamic Configuration
If the .jira.d/config.yml file is executable, then go-jira will attempt to execute the file and use the stdout for configuration. You can use this to customize templates or other overrides depending on what type of operation you are running. For example if you would like to use the "table" template when ever you run jira ls
, then you can create a template like this:
#!/bin/sh
echo "endpoint: https://jira.mycompany.com"
echo "editor: emacs -nw"
case $JIRA_OPERATION in
list)
echo "template: table";;
esac
Or if you always set the same overrides when you create an issue for your project you can do something like this:
#!/bin/sh
echo "project: GOJIRA"
case $JIRA_OPERATION in
create)
echo "assignee: $USER"
echo "watchers: mothra"
;;
esac
Editing
When you run command like jira edit
it will open up your favorite editor with the templatized output so you can quickly edit. When the editor
closes go-jira will submit the completed form. The order which go-jira attempts to determine your prefered editor is:
- editor property in any config.yml file
- JIRA_EDITOR environment variable
- EDITOR environment variable
- vim
Templates
go-jira has the ability to customize most output (and editor input) via templates. There are default templates available for all operations,
which may or may not work for your actual jira implementation. Jira is endlessly customizable, so it is hard to provide default templates
that will work for all issue types.
When running a command like jira edit
it will look through the current directory hierarchy trying to find a file that matches .jira.d/templates/edit,
if found it will use that file as the template, otherwise it will use the default edit template hard-coded into go-jira. You can export the default
hard-coded templates with jira export-templates
which will write them to ~/.jira.d/templates/.
