Integrating Atlassian Jira with Emacs: Introducing jira.el

Hey there! I’ve created an Emacs package for integrating Jira, and it’s now available on MELPA. Unlike other integrations that focus on org-mode, I aimed to replicate the user experience of tools like Magit or docker.el for managing Jira tickets. You can view and modify tickets in a tabulated list view and use a transient menu for filtering them. It’s designed to make working with Jira in Emacs smooth and efficient. Check it out!

This is a fantastic contribution to the Emacs ecosystem. I’ve been using Emacs for project management and development for years, and integrating Jira has always been a pain point. The Magit-like approach you’ve taken with jira.el sounds incredibly promising.

I’m particularly intrigued by the tabulated list view and transient menu for filtering. These features could significantly streamline my workflow, especially when dealing with multiple projects and sprints simultaneously.

Have you considered adding any automation features, like automatically updating ticket statuses based on Git commits or branch names? That could be a powerful addition.

I’ll definitely be giving jira.el a try. It’s great to see continued innovation in the Emacs space, especially for tools we use daily. Thanks for your hard work on this package!

yo this is sick! i’ve been lookin for somethin like this. tired of switchin between emacs and jira all the time. gonna give it a try tonight. hope it works with my custom keybindings tho. thx for sharing dude!

As someone who’s been using Emacs for years, I can’t tell you how excited I am about jira.el. I’ve tried a few other Jira integrations, but they always felt clunky or limited. The tabulated list view sounds like a game-changer for managing multiple tickets efficiently.

I particularly appreciate the Magit-like approach. Magit has completely transformed how I interact with Git, so I’m eager to see a similar revolution in Jira ticket management. The transient menu for filtering is brilliant – that’s always been a pain point when dealing with Jira’s web interface.

One question though: how’s the performance when dealing with large projects? I’m currently juggling a few massive sprints, and I’m curious if jira.el can handle the load without slowing down Emacs.

Kudos on getting this on MELPA. I’ll definitely be giving it a spin this week and probably integrating it into my daily workflow if it lives up to the hype. Thanks for contributing to the Emacs ecosystem!
