Jiraf finds an issue in Jira by key and generates a git branch name from its summary.

cd /tmp
git clone https://github.com/ivaaaan/jiraf.git
cd jiraf
go install

Configuration file stored in ~/.config/jiraf/config.yml in the YAML format.

url: <url to your Jira>
username: <username>
password: <Jira API token>
format: <format for fmt.Sprintf, the first argument is an issue key, the second one is generated summary>
pipeline:
  <function>: [<arguments>...]
  ...

url:  <url to your Jira>
username: <username>
password: <Jira api token>
format: "%s_%s"
pipeline:
  replace: [' ', '-']
  replace_regexp: ['[^a-zA-Z0-9-]+', '']
  to_lower:

This configuration will generate a branch name like this: ISSUE-1_summary-of-your-issue

Pipeline is a set of functions with arguments. Each of the function will be called on a result from a previous function.

One way to integrate jiraf with git is to create a simple script like this:

#!/bin/bash

git checkout -b $(jiraf $1)

And put this script into ~/bin/git-cb file (replace "cb" with a preferred subcommand name). Now you can just run git cb ISSUE-1, which will create a new branch with a generated name by jiraf.

Another one is an alias:

alias gcb='() { git checkout -b $(jiraf $1) }'
