cz-jira-commit

A commitizen adapter for Jira issue management using Jira Rest API.

Usage

Global Installation

For a quick global installation of the plugin, simply run the install.sh script present in this repo:

chmod +x install.sh

./install.sh

Add this adapter

Install this adapter

npm install cz-jira-commit

Reference it in your .cz.json of your project

{
  "path": "node_modules/cz-jira-commit/"
}

or use commitizen to init

commitizen init cz-jira-commit

See Jira setup section below on working with your Jira instance

Jira setup

This adapter interacts with Jira, hence needed to have access to your login credentials and url to the target Jira instance. An example ${HOME}/jira.config.json looks like:

{
  "username": "<your username>",
  "password": "<your password>",
  "protocol": "<http or https>",
  "host": "<your host name>",
  "port": "<your port number if required>"
}

Pre-push hook

A pre-push hook needs to call cz-jira-commit push. Recommended to use pre-push package and add to your package.json:

{
  "scripts": {
    "jira": "cz-jira-commit push"
  },
  "pre-push": [
    "jira"
  ],
}

Day to day work

Instead of git commit -m 'Your message', you type: git cz with this adapter and it prompts you for:

• [x] commit message
• [x] Jira Issue Key
• [ ] Workflow command
• [x] Time Spent
• [ ] Comment

It generates a commit like: [<jira issue key>] <commit message>

It will also attempt to action any workflow commands, log hours, and insert comments.
