JIRA ticket context manager for git workflows
Project description
jira-git-helper
A terminal-based JIRA ticket context manager for git workflows, invoked as jg.
Keeps the current JIRA ticket in your shell environment so that branch names, commit messages, and PR lookups are automatically prefixed — without you having to type the ticket key every time.
Installation
uv tool install jira-git-helper
Or with pipx:
pipx install jira-git-helper
Configuration
Run these once after installation:
jg config set server https://yourcompany.atlassian.net
jg config set email you@yourcompany.com
jg config set token <your-jira-api-token>
Optionally set a default JQL filter for the ticket picker (defaults to your assigned tickets):
jg config set jql "project = MYPROJECT AND assignee = currentUser() ORDER BY updated DESC"
Generate a JIRA API token at: https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens
Shell hook
The hook lets jg set / jg clear update SJ_TICKET in your current shell,
so each terminal can track a different ticket independently.
Fish:
# Add to ~/.config/fish/config.fish
eval (jg hook)
Bash / Zsh:
# Add to ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc
eval "$(jg hook --shell bash)" # or --shell zsh
Tide prompt (fish)
jg setup
Then follow the printed instructions to add jg to your Tide prompt items.
