+# Jira plugin
+
+This plugin provides command line tools for interacting with Atlassian's [JIRA](https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira) bug tracking software.
+
+To use it, add `jira` to the plugins array in your zshrc file:
+
+```zsh
+plugins=(... jira)
+```
+
+The interaction is all done through the web. No local installation of JIRA is necessary.
+
+In this document, "JIRA" refers to the JIRA issue tracking server, and `jira` refers to the command this plugin supplies.
+
+## Usage
+
+This plugin supplies one command, `jira`, through which all its features are exposed. Most forms of this command open a JIRA page in your web browser.
+
+## Commands
+
+`jira help` or `jira usage` will print the below usage instructions
+
+| Command | Description |
+| :---------------------------- | :------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `jira` | Performs the default action |
+| `jira new` | Opens a new Jira issue dialogue |
+| `jira ABC-123` | Opens an existing issue |
+| `jira ABC-123 m` | Opens an existing issue for adding a comment |
+| `jira project ABC` | Opens JIRA project summary |
+| `jira dashboard [rapid_view]` | Opens your JIRA dashboard |
+| `jira mine` | Queries for your own issues |
+| `jira tempo` | Opens your JIRA Tempo |
+| `jira reported [username]` | Queries for issues reported by a user |
+| `jira assigned [username]` | Queries for issues assigned to a user |
+| `jira branch` | Opens an existing issue matching the current branch name |
+| `jira help` | Prints usage instructions |
+
+
+### Jira Branch usage notes
+
+The branch name may have prefixes ending in "/": "feature/MP-1234", and also suffixes
+starting with "_": "MP-1234_fix_dashboard". In both these cases, the issue opened will be "MP-1234"
+
+This is also checks if the prefix is in the name, and adds it if not, so: "MP-1234" opens the issue "MP-1234",
+"mp-1234" opens the issue "mp-1234", and "1234" opens the issue "MP-1234".
+
+If your branch naming convention deviates, you can overwrite the jira_branch function to determine and echo the Jira issue key yourself.
+Define a function `jira_branch` after sourcing `oh-my-zsh.sh` in your `.zshrc`.
+Example:
+```zsh
+# Determine branch name from naming convention 'type/KEY-123/description'.
+function jira_branch() {
+ # Get name of the branch
+ issue_arg=$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)
+ # Strip prefixes like feature/ or bugfix/
+ issue_arg=${issue_arg#*/}
+ # Strip suffixes like /some-branch-description
+ issue_arg=${issue_arg%%/*}
+ # Return the value
+ echo $issue_arg
+}
+```
+
+
+#### Debugging usage
+
+These calling forms are for developers' use, and may change at any time.
+
+```
+jira dumpconfig # displays the effective configuration
+```
+
+## Setup
+
+The URL for your JIRA instance is set by `$JIRA_URL` or a `.jira_url` file.
+
+Add a `.jira-url` file in the base of your project. You can also set `$JIRA_URL` in your `~/.zshrc` or put a `.jira-url` in your home directory. A `.jira-url` in the current directory takes precedence, so you can make per-project customizations.
+
+The same goes with `.jira-prefix` and `$JIRA_PREFIX`. These control the prefix added to all issue IDs, which differentiates projects within a JIRA instance.
+
+For example:
+
+```
+cd to/my/project
+echo "https://jira.atlassian.com" >> .jira-url
+```
+
+(Note: The current implementation only looks in the current directory for `.jira-url` and `.jira-prefix`, not up the path, so if you are in a subdirectory of your project, it will fall back to your default JIRA URL. This will probably change in the future though.)
+
+### Variables
+
+* `$JIRA_URL` - Your JIRA instance's URL
+* `$JIRA_NAME` - Your JIRA username; used as the default user for `assigned`/`reported` searches
+* `$JIRA_PREFIX` - Prefix added to issue ID arguments
+* `$JIRA_RAPID_BOARD` - Set to `true` if you use Rapid Board
+* `$JIRA_RAPID_VIEW` - Set the default rapid view; it doesn't work if `$JIRA_RAPID_BOARD` is set to false
+* `$JIRA_DEFAULT_ACTION` - Action to do when `jira` is called with no arguments; defaults to "new"
+* `$JIRA_TEMPO_PATH` - Your JIRA tempo url path; defaults to "/secure/Tempo.jspa"
+
+
+### Browser
+
+Your default web browser, as determined by how `open_command` handles `http://` URLs, is used for interacting with the JIRA instance. If you change your system's URL handler associations, it will change the browser that `jira` uses.
