Description

Opens the current branch name in JIRA.

First, the script verifies that the current directory tree is tracked with Git. If so, it verifies that Jira is reachable. If so, it opens Jira in your default browser.

Usage

It's meant to be simple:

$ jira
Opening https://jira.yourdamncompanyname.com/browse/JIRA-1234

Installation

Download the script and make it executable (chmod +x jira). I recommend to place this script in a subdirectory of home named bin. Create the directory bin and then edit .zshrc to add it to your path:

#-- Paths
path=(
    ~/bin 
    $path
)

Requirements

1. The directory must be tracked in Git.
2. The last path component of your branch must include the ticket ID. The following examples are will work with the script
   JIRA-1234
JIRA-1234-my-new-haircut (Jira is smart enough to parse-out the ticket ID)
   feature/vinnybagadoughnuts/JIRA-1234
