go-jira-ui

go-jira-ui is an ncurses command line tool for accessing JIRA.

It is built around the excellent go-jira and termui libraries.

It aims to be similar to familiar tools like vim, tig, and less.

In order to use this, you should configure an 'endpoint' as per the go-jira documentation:

$ cat ~/.jira.d/config.yml
---
endpoint: https://jira.example.com/
user: bob   # if not same as $USER

This should be all that's needed to get going.

Installation

# Make sure you have GOPATH and GOBIN set appropriately first:
# eg:
#   export GOPATH=$HOME/go
#   export GOBIN=$GOPATH/bin
#   mkdir -p $GOPATH
#   export PATH=$PATH:$GOBIN
go get -v github.com/mikepea/go-jira-ui/jira-ui

Dockerised use

docker run --rm -it -v /path/to/.jira.d:/config pmjohann/go-jira-ui

Features

• Supply your own JQL queries to view
• Label view of a given query, to see categorisations easily
• Sorting of queries; supply your own custom sorts
• View tickets from the query
• Drill into sub/blocker/related/mentioned tickets in details view
• Show open tickets in an Epic.
• Basic compatibility with go-jira commandline and options loading
• Label adding/removing
• Comment, watch, assign and take implemented via :-mode commands

At present, edit will exit after the update. This is a workaround to an implementation issue, being tracked in #8

Usage

jira-ui is intended to mirror the options of go-jira's jira tool, where useful:

jira-ui             # opens up in Query List page. Default interface.
jira-ui ISSUE       # opens up Ticket Show page, with ISSUE loaded
jira-ui ls -q JQL   # opens up Ticket List page, with results of JQL loaded.
jira-ui -h          # help page

Configuration

It is very much recommended to read the go-jira documentation, particularly surrounding the .jira.d configuration directories. go-jira-ui uses this same mechanism, so can be used to load per-project defaults. It also leverages the templating engine, so you can customise the view of both the query output (use 'jira_ui_list' template), and the issue 'view' template.

go-jira-ui reads its own jira-ui-config.yml file in these jira.d directories, as not to pollute the go-jira config. You can add additional queries & sort orderings to the top-level Query page:

$ cat ~/jira.d/jira-ui-config.yml:
sorts:
  - name: "sort by vote count"
    jql:  "ORDER BY votes DESC"
queries:
  - name: "alice assigned"
    jql:  "assignee = alice AND resolution = Unresolved"
  - name: "bob assigned"
    jql:  "assignee = bob AND resolution = Unresolved"
  - name: "unresolved must-do"
    jql:  "labels = 'must-do' AND resolution = Unresolved AND ( project = 'OPS' OR project = 'INFRA')"

Learning JQL is highly recommended, the Atlassian Advanced Searching page is a good place to start.
