jira-precommit-hook
-------------------

Goals:

- Commit hook script contains the bare bones needed to call into this library.
  We may want to investigate use of existing
  [pre-commit](https://www.npmjs.com/package/pre-commit) module.


# NOTICE

Currently only configured for read-only access to JIRA.

# Project Configuration

## DESCRIPTION

In order to communicate with your JIRA server, a .jirarc file needs to be
placed in the root of the repo.

```json
{
	"projectName": "<Name of JIRA project - REQUIRED>",
	"host":"<URL location of JIRA project - REQUIRED>",
	"protocol":"[default:http|https]",
	"port": default:80,
	"version": default:2,
	"verbose": default:false,
	"strictSSL": default:true
}
```

## INSTALLATION

To install, run the following with [npm](https://www.npmjs.com):

```bash
> npm install jira-precommit-hook
```

## SYMLINK DIRECTORY NOTICE

If the hooks directory in your .git folder is symlinked, the module will be
unable to find it. To avoid this, do not symlink your hooks folder inside of
your project's git directory.

# Making JIRA Commits

_In order to make a successful commit with the precommit hook, **ALL** issues
being committed must meet the following requirements:_

- There must be at least one issue in the commit message
- All committed issues must exist in the project designated in the .jirarc


_At **least one** issue being committed must meet the following requirements:_
- The issue must be open for commits
- The parents of the issue must also be open for commits
  - The issue must lead up to an initiative
- The issue must not be an initiative, epic, nor a deployment task

## Jokes

By default you will get a joke presented to you upon a successful commit. This
is two-fold, first to get you accustomed to the commit hook so you are aware
when it's not present. The second is for some comic relief at work, cause we
all need it.

### To disable the jokes from your shell

```bash
> ./node_modules/.bin/jira-precommit jokes disable
```

### To re-enable the jokes from your shell

```bash
> ./node_modules/.bin/jira-precommit jokes enable
```
***To disable***
To disable the joke feature simply delete the .chuckNorris file from your home directory.
