This helpful bash script, while simple and having minimal validation (user beware), is intended to help make it easier and quicker to log working hours on tickets in Atlassian's Jira software. In a few words, it sends a cURL request with the time specified for the ticket specified.
It requires 3 pieces of information:
- Your login (username or email)
- Your company domain (ex:
google.atlassian.net) - A Jira token
Photos of the following steps are in /photos/jira_token and are nubmered
accordingly with the following steps.
- While in Jira, click on your pofile icon on the top right of the page.
- Select
Account Settingsfrom the drop down, which will open a new tab in your browser (It may require login again). - On the left side navbar, click on
Security. - Click on
Create and managae API tokens. - Click on the button
Create API token. - Give it a label, this is arbitrary.
- When the next box pops up,
Your new API token, copy that to clip board as you will not be able to access that value again and will have to go back to step 5.
Now, place your gathered information in the script at the top where the variables are assigned.
The following, where logwork represents the execution of the script.
1. logwork -t DEV-101 -w 5h30m
2. logwork -t DEV-101 -w 45m
3. logwork -t DEV-101 -w 7h
The following is how to vew the help message, and examples in the console:
1. logwork -h
When a response comes back, the only piece that will display on the console is
the HTTP Status Code. However, this script will create a logwork/ directory
in the /tmp/ directory to store the most recent request for the day. Each
request will overwrite the previous logs. Examples can be seen in
/photos/requests/
Here is the success:
