Overview

"You can't have a pony (except you can)"

A tool for fast logging of JIRA tasks.

Requirements

Need to have JIRA python module installed. Easiest way is via pip, assuming you have it already:

% sudo pip install jira

Usage

Usage: pony [options]

Options:
  -h, --help       show this help message and exit
  -u <customer>    name of user needing assistance -- REQUIRED.
  -c <comment>     brief description of the task, will be used as the bug
                   summary -- REQUIRED.
  -d <duration>    amount of time spent, i.e.: 2h, 3d, 1w -- OPTIONAL
  -a <serverAuth>  Name of person logging ticket, to use as credentials to bug
                   system -- REQUIRED (but can be set in template)
  -p <password>    Password to go with -e option -- REQUIRED (but can be set
                   in template.
  -s <serverURL>   HTTP URL to bug system -- REQUIRED (but can be set in
                   template.
  -x <project>     JIRA project code
  -t               Run 'pony -t' to create ~/.pony.conf template file to store
                   server info

Summary:

To create easy access template, run:

% pony -t

Edit subsequent ~/.pony.conf file -- fill in the blanks as appropriate to avoid having to specify the -a, -p, -s and -x options all the time...

Then you can do:

% pony -u my.customer -c "needed help with this stuff"

Note: it's currently assumed that the values of the USER environment variable is the assignee of a pony task, and if that var doesn't exist, defaults to serverAuth parameter. This is so you can use a unique account to log all pony bugs, but is easy to change in the class constructor if you want to change that behavior.
