So despite being in charge and ultimately the guy who decided to get my entire company using JIRA I must admit... I hate it... As with many GUIs just way too much clicking and waiting and im too impatient.

Anyway, so I decided to install jira-cli ( github.com/ankitpokhrel/jira-c ) and I cant tell you how much nicer this is, certainly improves my stress levels...

If anyone is curious this is what a full workflow from ticket creation to completion looks like for me. Keep in mind if you are on a JIRA instance that isnt customized you can probably get by with fewer steps.

@freemo There's the learning curve with cli, but AFTER I learn it I *DO* prefer it. I do have satisfaction with going CLI on my headless server. :)

@Romaq yea though i find since cheatsheets are just text you copy and paste that learning curve is easily managed

@freemo Yeah, I recall seeing cookbooks for sed, regexp. Hell yeah, I keep cheat sheets for other things. And once you are in the ecosystem, it gets way easier!

@Romaq Absolutely, just a few cheat sheets to start out, the occasional read and your good to go.

@freemo Absolutely. I'd rather use CLI for managing the Minecraft server, but I don't want to think about using CLI for playing the game. 😉 I do lean on YouTube as a cookbook for various structures I want to create. Hard to remember so much detail. And then there's Dwarf Fortress...
