jira-creator

Python

Create JIRA issues (stories, bugs, epics, spikes, tasks) quickly using standardized templates and optional AI-enhanced descriptions.

⚡ Quick Start (Under 30 Seconds)

1. Create your config file and enable autocomplete

mkdir -p ~/.bashrc.d
cat <<EOF > ~/.bashrc.d/jira.sh
export JPAT="your_jira_personal_access_token"
export AI_PROVIDER=openai
export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
export JIRA_URL="https://issues.redhat.com"
export PROJECT_KEY="AAP"
export AFFECTS_VERSION="aa-latest"
export COMPONENT_NAME="analytics-hcc-service"
export PRIORITY="Normal"
export JIRA_BOARD_ID=21125

# Enable autocomplete
eval "$(register-python-argcomplete rh-issue)"
EOF

source ~/.bashrc.d/jira.sh

2. Link the CLI wrapper

chmod +x rh-issue-wrapper.sh
sudo ln -s $(pwd)/rh-issue-wrapper.sh /usr/local/bin/rh-issue

3. Run it

rh-issue create story "Improve onboarding experience"

rh-issue create bug "Fix login crash"
rh-issue create story "Refactor onboarding flow"
