Usage

kanbars                                           # Your tickets (developer = currentUser())
kanbars --jql "assignee = currentUser()"         # Only assigned to you
kanbars --jql "sprint in openSprints()"          # Current sprint
kanbars --assignee "teammate@company.com"        # Someone else's tickets
kanbars --init                                   # Create config file

Press q to quit.

Default Query

Shows tickets where you are the Developer (not just assignee):

developer = currentUser() AND status NOT IN (Done, Shipped, Discontinued, Closed, Hibernate)

Perfect for teams where tickets get reassigned to QA/Product during review.

Config File (Optional)

Create ~/.config/kanbars/config.toml to avoid environment variables:

[jira]
url = "https://yourcompany.atlassian.net"
email = "your.email@company.com"
api_token = "your-api-token"

[query]
jql = "your custom default query"
