jigit

Keep you JIRA issue statuses in sync with what you're doing actually.

How it works?

If you're as lazy as me and in the same time working with JIRA for quite a time on a daily basis, jigit may save you some time and make the process a bit better :wink Let's say you've just cloned a project and have 2 JIRA issues in TO DO in our list: CNI-1798, CNI-1799.

• You're on master branch or whatever you have as a default after cloning;
• You're going to work on CNI-1798 first;
• git checkout -b CNI-1798;
• jigit will change the status of CNI-1798 on JIRA to In Progress or whatever you set up as a work in progress status 🎉;
• Suddenly you have to switch to the higher priority CNI-1799;
• git checkout -b CNI-1799;
• jigit will ask you for a new status for CNI-1798, which I suppose a kind of To Do, and update status of CNI-1799;

And you can jump between branches as much as you want, but you will never ever have the wrong status for you JIRA issue :rocket. You are 😀, a project manager is 😀 - the world becomes a bit better 🙌

Example

If you want to see jigit in action, here we are:

Installation

$ [sudo] gem install jigit

Or via bundler:

gem 'jigit', '~> 1.0'

The jigit gem requires ruby-2.2.3 and currently can be installed only on OS X because of a tight couple to OS X keychain.

Getting started

The jigit configuration is guided by a friendly interviewer by the following command:

$ bundle exec jigit init

After that step, you're set 🚀

Limitation

Currently, jigit works only on OS X, requires ruby-2.2.3. Also, it's based on the git hooks and therefore doesn't work with the source control UI app, but only by using git in the command line.
