The 5-minute tax on every task
If you use Jira and Git, you know this loop:
Write your code
Commit
Open Jira in a new tab
Click "Create" → fill in summary, description, component, work type, acceptance criteria
Copy the ticket key
git commit --amend to add it to your commit
git checkout -b ticket_key && git push -u origin ticket_key
Open the PR on GitHub
Drag the ticket from "To Do" to "In Code Review"
Steps 3–9 take five minutes if everything goes smoothly. Multiply by 5
tasks a day, by your team size, by 200 working days. That's a lot of
human time spent moving a card on a screen.
What if it could be like this:
Enter commit-to-jira
npm install -g commit-to-jira
commit-to-jira setup # one-time
commit-to-jira build # every task
$ commit-to-jira build
