Jit

Jira and Git brought together, create and switch branches by knowing only the task id. Jit connects to Jira to find the task title then formats it properly as a valid branch name.

Commands

Given a jira task with this details:

task id: AA-55

task title: [AA] - Blah blah blah

To create a local branch named "AA-55_Blah_blah_blah" for this task you'd do one of the following:

jit branch aa55 // Makes a request to jira server to aquire the title
jit branch "AA-55 \n[AA] - Blah blah blah" // Parses the input. It can ignore the new lines if the text is added in quotes

To switch branches you will type:

jit checkout aa55 // Case insensitive and no need to put the dash, jit will separate the chars from numbers with a dash
jit checkout blah // Switches to the first branch containing "blah"
jit co aa55 // Checkout is too long? There's even the "co" shortcut
jit co 55 // Switches to the first branch containing "55"

Commiting to repo:

jit commit <commit message> // No need to wrap the message in "", jit knows that after commit word follows the message
jit ci <commit message> // The "ci" shortcut for commit
jit magic <commit message> // Add files to stage, commits, pushes to server, logs time to Jirassic

jit magic

This is a magical command that will:

• Add the changed files to stage
• Commit
• Push
• Log time to Jirassic

Create pull requests in stash:

jit pr

For a complete list of commands and details run

Installing on macOS

Run this commands in Terminal to download the executable and to give it permissions

sudo curl -o /usr/local/bin/jit https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cristibaluta/Jit/master/build/jit
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/jit

If you already have jit, you can update it to the latest version by running

sudo jit selfupdate

Compile from sources

To compile you need the Haxe compiler (http://haxe.org) and the hxcpp haxelib. You must also create manually a 'cpp' folder where Haxe will compile the app.

haxelib install hxcpp // Install the hxcpp dependency
haxelib install hx3compat // Install lib with api from haxe3 that was removed in api4 (for unit testing)
haxe compile.hxml // Compile the application. Run with sudo if you are missing some writing permissions

Win and linux versions in theory should work, in practice didn't tested. They also must implement different logic for the password storage. Get in touch if you'd like to contribute with this.
