So despite being in charge and ultimately the guy who decided to get my entire company using JIRA I must admit… I hate it… As with many GUIs just way too much clicking and waiting and im too impatient.

Anyway, so I decided to install jira-cli ( github.com/ankitpokhrel/jira-c ) and I cant tell you how much nicer this is, certainly improves my stress levels…

If anyone is curious this is what a full workflow from ticket creation to completion looks like for me. Keep in mind if you are on a JIRA instance that isnt customized you can probably get by with fewer steps.

myjira issue create -pSYS -tTask -s”Configure jira cli w/ aliases” -b”Add to nixos config and create some helper scripts for commands” -yHigh

myjira issue move SYS-125 Accept

myjira sprint list -pSYS

myjira sprint add 65 SYS-125 -pSYS

myjira issue edit SYS-125 –custom story-points=2 –no-input

myjira issue assign SYS-125 “jeff@scentech-medical.com”
myjira issue move SYS-125 “Start Work”

myjira issue worklog add SYS-125 2h –comment “Started reading up on the subject” –no-input

myjira issue move SYS-125 “Ready for Review” –comment “Successfully printed from lab office’s printer using shmuels computer”

myjira issue move SYS-125 “Accepted” –comment “Shmuel confirmed it is working for him now”

@freemo There’s the learning curve with cli, but AFTER I learn it I DO prefer it. I do have satisfaction with going CLI on my headless server. :)

@Romaq yea though i find since cheatsheets are just text you copy and paste that learning curve is easily managed

@freemo Yeah, I recall seeing cookbooks for sed, regexp. Hell yeah, I keep cheat sheets for other things. And once you are in the ecosystem, it gets way easier!

@Romaq Absolutely, just a few cheat sheets to start out, the occasional read and your good to go.

@freemo Absolutely. I’d rather use CLI for managing the Minecraft server, but I don’t want to think about using CLI for playing the game. πŸ˜‰ I do lean on YouTube as a cookbook for various structures I want to create. Hard to remember so much detail. And then there’s Dwarf Fortress…
