Bridge between Jira tickets and your git workflow — right inside the editor.

Does the same job as the Jitly CLI, but as a native VS Code extension: sidebar ticket list, one-click start, commit/push/status-update from the Command Palette. Works standalone (its own login) or alongside the CLI — both read/write the same credentials and the same .jitly.yaml project config, so you can mix and match.

Features

Sidebar — see your assigned Jira tickets in the activity bar, click to start work on one
Jitly: Login to Jira — SSO/OAuth2 or API token
Jitly: Link Project to Jira (jitly init equivalent)
Jitly: Policy Setup — branch naming + commit message templates
Jitly: Start Ticket — pulls base, creates branch, moves ticket to In Progress
Jitly: Done — commits, pushes, updates Jira status (fetched live from your workflow)
Jitly: Show Status — active ticket, branch, working tree state
Jitly: Generate Standup — pulls git activity, opens a copy-paste-ready standup doc

How it shares state with the CLI

Login is separate from the CLI — the extension stores its own session using VS Code's built-in SecretStorage (backed by the OS keychain, no extra setup). Log in once inside VS Code with Jitly: Login to Jira.
Project settings live in the same .jitly.yaml file in your repo root, so branch/commit templates set by either the CLI or the extension apply to both.
Both talk to the same Jitly backend for policy sync and activity tracking.

Requirements

Git installed and available on PATH
A Jitly backend reachable (defaults to https://jitly.ayushgupta.co, override with the JITLY_BACKEND_URL env var)
