Process Todos Service

Automated service that fetches todos from Jira, processes them with ralph-afk.sh, and updates ticket statuses.

Setup

1. Copy the sample environment file:

   cp .env.example .env

2. Edit .env and add your Atlassian credentials:

   ACLI_TOKEN='your_atlassian_api_token'
   ACLI_SITE='https://your-site.atlassian.net'
   ACLI_EMAIL='[email protected]'
   BOARD_NAME='RemoteControl'

• Log output to process-todos.log

Press Ctrl+C to stop.

Local Development

Install from local source

After cloning, install the package globally so the remote-control command points to your local working copy:

npm install
npm link

npm link creates a global symlink, so any code changes you make are reflected immediately — no reinstall needed.

Reinstall after pulling updates

When you pull new changes that add or remove dependencies:

npm install

The global symlink from npm link stays intact; only the node_modules are updated.

Unlink / remove the local install

npm unlink -g remote-control
