⚡ Jitly for VS Code

Bridge between Jira tickets and your git workflow — right inside the editor.

Does the same job as the Jitly CLI, but as a native VS Code extension: sidebar ticket list, one-click start, commit/push/status-update from the Command Palette. Works standalone (its own login) or alongside the CLI — both read/write the same credentials and the same .jitly.yaml project config, so you can mix and match.

Features

• Sidebar — see your assigned Jira tickets in the activity bar, click to start work on one
• Jitly: Login to Jira — SSO/OAuth2 or API token
• Jitly: Link Project to Jira (jitly init equivalent)
• Jitly: Policy Setup — branch naming + commit message templates
• Jitly: Start Ticket — pulls base, creates branch, moves ticket to In Progress
• Jitly: Done — commits, pushes, updates Jira status (fetched live from your workflow)
• Jitly: Show Status — active ticket, branch, working tree state
• Jitly: Generate Standup — pulls git activity, opens a copy-paste-ready standup doc

How it shares state with the CLI

• Login is separate from the CLI — the extension stores its own session using VS Code's built-in SecretStorage (backed by the OS keychain, no extra setup). Log in once inside VS Code with Jitly: Login to Jira.
• Project settings live in the same .jitly.yaml file in your repo root, so branch/commit templates set by either the CLI or the extension apply to both.
• Both talk to the same Jitly backend for policy sync and activity tracking.

Requirements

• Git installed and available on PATH
• A Jitly backend reachable (defaults to https://jitly.ayushgupta.co, override with the JITLY_BACKEND_URL env var)

Development

npm install
npm run compile

Then press F5 in VS Code to launch an Extension Development Host.
