# LeCheckout for Jira

_Gitbranch Generator Browser Extension_

**Working Draft / PoC**

## 📚 Summary

This is a Chrome browser extension that generates a git branch name based on the current jira issue key and the issue
summary.

:package: If you use GitHub, have a look at the alpha Test-Version of [GitHub Version](https://github.com/jolution/le-checkout-github).

We recommend using the store versions for the best experience, as they are automatically updated and maintained.

- Avoid typos in ID
- Avoid omitting the prefix
- Quick setup using copy and paste

## ❓FAQ

Why do we "need" this Extension?

In Jira, you can set up Development integration such as GitHub, if configured correctly by someone with permissions. This integration allows us to create branches directly. However, the native setup lacks the ability to easily select a prefix like `/feature/` or `/fix/`. Our extension is designed for users who do not have this feature enabled natively or who prefer to use specific prefixes.

Additionally, our extension aims to automatically prefill the prefix based on the type of Jira ticket in the future, distinguishing between bugs and features, for added convenience.

Why do you include the Jira ID in the branch title?

This allows us to make assignments more easily and, among other things, work with jira-prepare-commit-msg in projects.

## 🗺️ Roadmap

### 🔄 Shared Library: Unifying LeCheckout for Jira & GitHub

We’re currently working on extracting a **shared library** to unify the core logic of [LeCheckout for Jira](https://github.com/jolution/le-checkout-jira) and [LeCheckout for GitHub](https://github.com/jolution/le-checkout-github). This step will help us streamline development, reduce duplication, and ensure consistent behavior across both extensions.
Once the shared library is in place, the **GitHub version** will be updated to match the improved logic already available in the **Jira version**.

### 🚀 Upcoming Features

- [x] Logo and CI design
- [x] Rollout to Chrome Web Store
- [x] Firefox extension version in Firefox Add-ons

- [ ] Subtask handling (in Progress 🚀)
- [ ] Design the popup Component
- [ ] Shared library for LeCheckout for Jira and GitHub
- [ ] Custom title inputs (Community request)
- [ ] Add Azure DevOps support
- [ ] Optimized design for Jira On-Premise and Jira Cloud
- [ ] Integration into the popup variant of the ticket
- [ ] Setup option to toggle emojis
- [ ] Setup option to hide specific branch prefixes
- [ ] Add GitLab support

### ⚙️ Tech Stack Upgrade: Preparing for v2.0

The current codebase is more of a PoC (proof of concept), and while it served us well to validate the idea, we’re now preparing for a more robust and scalable **2.0 release**.

For this next version, we plan to rebuild the extensions using a **modern frontend framework** — like **[Preact](https://preactjs.com/)** — to improve maintainability, performance, and developer experience.

This will allow us to:

- Streamline the UI and make it more modular
- Set a solid foundation for cross-platform extension development

We’re excited about what’s ahead!
