jira

Use jira to manage Jira issues, sprints, and boards. Requires API token setup.

Setup (once)

1. Generate an API token: https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens
2. Export it: export JIRA_API_TOKEN="your-token" (add to ~/.zshrc for persistence)
3. Initialize: jira init --server https://your-org.atlassian.net --login [e-mail] --installation cloud
