lazyjira

Terminal UI for Jira. Like lazygit but for Jira.

Jira's web UI is painfully slow. Changing a ticket status takes multiple clicks, pages take seconds to load, and you spend more time fighting the interface than actually working. lazyjira gives you a fast, keyboard-driven terminal UI so you can browse issues, update statuses, read descriptions and more with minimum latency.

 

Demo mode

Try without a Jira account (build from source required):

make build-demo
./lazyjira --demo

Features

• JQL search with autocomplete, syntax highlighting, and persistent history
• 4-panel layout - issues, projects, detail, status - with vim-style navigation
• Inline editing - transitions, priority, assignee, labels, comments, description ($EDITOR)
• Configurable - custom keybindings, JQL tabs, issue columns, custom fields
• Adaptive - side-by-side or stacked layout, mouse support, ANSI 16 colors

Create an API token at https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens

Credentials saved to ~/.config/lazyjira/auth.json.

Usage

lazyjira                 # start
lazyjira auth            # re-authenticate
lazyjira logout          # clear credentials
lazyjira --dry-run       # read-only mode (no writes to Jira)
lazyjira --log app.log   # log API requests to file
lazyjira --version       # show version

Press ? inside the app for all keybindings.

Roadmap

• Robust JQL search
• Git integration - create branches from issues, open issue from current branch
• Create issues
• Rich text editing - colors, panels, media in ADF descriptions
• Bulk operations - transition/assign multiple issues at once
• Notifications - watch for issue updates
• Offline mode - cached view when network is unavailable
