GH PR Jira Key Link

A Chrome extension that turns Jira issue keys (e.g. SLIDES-1881) in GitHub PR titles into links to your Jira instance.

Installation

1. Open chrome://extensions/
2. Enable Developer Mode
3. Click “Load unpacked” and select this directory
4. Click the toolbar icon and set your Jira subdomain (the xyz in xyz.atlassian.net) — the extension does nothing until this is set

How it works

A content script runs on github.com/*/*/pull/* pages, scans the PR title for text matching KEY-123, and replaces each match with a link to https://<subdomain>.atlassian.net/browse/KEY-123. The subdomain is stored in chrome.storage.sync and read by the content script; there is no default.

GitHub PR pages are single-page apps, so a MutationObserver re-scans the title on DOM changes (e.g. navigating between PRs without a full reload).

Development

Run icons/regenerate-icons.sh to rebuild the icon set (requires rsvg-convert, e.g. brew install librsvg).

Run ./pack.sh to build dist/gh-jira-key-link.zip for distribution.
