Jirafs

Pronounced like 'giraffes', but totally unrelated to wildlife, this library lets you stay out of JIRA as much as possible by letting you edit your JIRA issues as a collection of text files using an interface inspired by git and hg.

Read more details in the docs.

Plugins and Macros Too

Additionally provides a Plugin API allowing one to write scripts to simplify your workflow. Currently, existing plugins include:

• jirafs-graphviz: Automatically transform graphviz (dot) files into PNG digraphs during upload.
• jirafs-latex: Automatically transform Latex markup into PDFs during upload.
• jirafs-pandoc: Automatically transform RST/Markdown markup into fancy PDFs during upload.
• jirafs-list-table: Make JIRA tables a little more easily using a simple list-based markup.

Requirements

• git >= 1.8
• python >= 2.7 or python3 >= 3.3
