Jira Release Notes

A command line tool that pulls and prints notes about a given jira release. This was thrown together one weekend for personal use and to experiment with the JIRA api

:warning: It does not support pagination (so max 50 issues) and has no automated tests. If you want to submit a PR for this, please go for it :heart:

This tool ignores sub-tasks and epics.

$ npm -g install jira-release-notes
$ jira-release-notes [options]

Options

Command line options

-h, --host

The JIRA hostname. e.g, "yourname.jira.com".

-u, --username

The JIRA username to log in.

-p, --password

The JIRA password for the given username. Please use an API Token instead of your actual password. Also please ensure you take appropriate measures to hide this detail from any output or logs :see_no_evil: .

-f, --filter-version

The name of the release version you want to create notes for. We'll compare this to the "Fix Version".

-v, --verbose

Be noisy with output. Sometimes useful for debugging :loudspeaker:.

-f, --format

How should we print the result. I use for slack but you're welcome to extend in other formats if you want to contribute. Can either be:

• text (default)
• slack-hook e.g, pipe straight to a slack inbound hook

 ... --format slack-hook | curl \
 -XPOST \
 -H 'Content-type: application/json' \
 -d @- \ https://hooks.slack.com/your/webhook/url
