JTAC

JTAC: The JIRA Tooling and Automation CLI (and totally not a backronym)

Its goal is to automate some of the more trivial parts of a JIRA/Git workflow, and make a few common tasks possible via command line.

Requirements

1. A D toolchain

2. Dub (D's package manager)

3. par (used for formatting, and usually available through your package manager)

How do I build it?

1. Get a D compiler.

2. Get Dub. (See https://code.dlang.org/download for download options. Arch, Debian, Homebrew, and MacPorts packages are available.)

3. Run dub build or dub build -b release

How do I run it?

See jtac --help for usage info. If you want to read it before building, see src/help.d

What does it do?

Currently supported

• List all unfinished JIRA issues
• List an issue summary (name, status, last-modified, description)
• Transition an issue to a different state

Planned

• Automatically create and checkout a branch when starting an issue.
• Pull request integration(?)
• <Your desired features here. Ping Matt Kline>

(Some of these will be useless if/when we ever get JIRA/Stash integration, but until then...)

Why D, as opposed to Python, Ruby, <other more common dynamic language here>?

I like D because it provides most of the flexibility of these languages, and compile-time type checking and native performance are cool.
