ocpr

A quick Jira ticket and pull request creator for Opencast .

Configuration

Create a configuration file ~/.ocpr to supply your jira credentials.

Using your password directly does not work anymore. You can create an AIP token four your account at id.atlassian.com/manage/api-tokens.

# Jira
USER=jdoe
EMAIL=jdoe@example.com
APIKEY=...

# Github
GH_REPO=jdoe/opencast

Note that this is interpreted as shell script. That means you can easily integrate your password manager if he supports shell commands. For example you could use gopass like this:

APIKEY="$(gopass show -o private/opencast.jira.com)"

Just call ocpr and answer the questions.

Automatically create Github pull requests

To create a pull request including the file somefile.ext against the develop branch, run the following:

git checkout develop
# edit somefile.ext
git add somefile.ext
ocpr

ocpr will automatically use the Jira ticket information for the commit message, the branch name and the pull request.

Task vs Bug

By default, ocpr will create a Bug-type Jira ticket. To create a Task instead, run ocpr -t.

% ocpr
Using issue type: Bug
...

% ocpr -t
Using issue type: Task
...

Example
