For example, just request to start a new feature (according you already have a Jira project, with a “GLOW” key and a “GLOW-1234” ticket, otherwize a 404 error will be prompted at the end of this operation):

git glow start feature 1234

Following messages will be prompted, waiting an answer for each step:

Create a glow config? [Y/n] y
Jira Project Key? GLOW
Github Repository Name? [:owner/:name] nicolasramy/git-glow
Github Token? ghp_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Start feature name: «feature/GLOW-1234» [y/n] y

• Jira Project Key is a key that you chosed when you created your Jira project and you can retrieve as prefix of your Jira tickets (like GLOW-1234)

• Github Repository Name is same as described in the prompted message: the_repository_owner/the_project_name

• Github token is an access token you can set from your GitHub settings: https://github.com/settings/tokens. This token will require “Full control of private repositories” (repo checkbox when you create it). After being created, you just need to copy-paste the generated token.

If the configuration successfully registered and you think it was wrong, you can update it in the .git/config of your project. The following section should exist:

github-token = ghp_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
github-repository-name = nicolasramy/git-glow
jira-project-key = GLOW
