Getting Started

Using the Fjira CLI is straightforward. Simply run fjira in your terminal.

fjira

Workspaces

The first time you run Fjira, it will prompt you for your Jira API URL and token.

Fjira workspaces store Jira configuration data in a simple YAML file located at ~/.fjira. You can switch between multiple workspaces using the fjira workspace command.

fjira workspace

To create a new workspace, use the following command:

fjira workspace --new abc

You can edit an existing workspace using the --edit flag:

fjira workspace --edit abc

Jira Token Type

Fjira supports both Jira Server and Jira Cloud, which use different token types for authorization. The tool will prompt you to select the appropriate token type during workspace configuration.

? Jira Token Type:

1. api token
2. personal token

Enter a number (Default is 1):

YAML configuration

If you prefer a manual approach, you have the option to add workspace configurations by creating a fjira.yaml file in the ~/.fjira/ directory. For your convenience, an example configuration file is here: fjira.yml

Projects search

The default view when you run fjira is the project search screen.

Opening a Specific Project

You can open a project directly from the CLI:

fjira --project=PROJ

This will skip the project search screen and take you directly to the issues search screen.

Opening an Issue Directly

To open an issue directly from the CLI:

fjira PROJ-123

Fjira will skip all intermediate screens and take you directly to the issue view.

Boards View

Fjira also offers a board-like view. After opening a project, press F4 to access this view.

Custom JQL Queries

You can create and execute custom JQL queries with Fjira:

fjira jql

My Jira Filters

You can search using your stored (favourites) Jira Filters:

fjira filters

Custom Color Scheme

Tailor the fjira color scheme to match your preferences by creating a custom ~/.fjira/colors.yml file. This file allows you to personalize the colors according to your unique style. Refer to the example file, located here: colors.yml

Roadmap (TODO)

• Expand Documentation
• Create&Delete Jira Filters
• Support Additional Linux Package Managers (Apt, AUR, YUM)
• Introduce More Jira Features

Motivation

Fjira was designed for personal convenience, born out of a desire for efficiency and a love for terminal tools. Often, we find ourselves in "I just need to transition issue 123 to the next status." While opening Jira, locating the ticket on the board, and navigating the Jira issue modal are all perfectly fine, they do consume a fair amount of time.

Fjira empowers you to execute such tasks directly from the terminal, where you're likely already working! 😄

If Fjira enhances your Jira experience as it did mine, please consider giving it a star on GitHub. 🌟 It will power-up me for a future work.
