Every now and then I do a pull request (PR) to contribute to open source projects like Appcelerator’s Alloy for Titanium. Like many other software developers, including myself, Appcelerator uses JIRA for managing the project and GitHub for managing the actual code.
Before doing a PR via GitHub it is highly appreciated if you create a JIRA ticket on forehand to describe the problem/improvement and track the process of testing and merging the code. But the PR itself of course should also contain some minimal information on what the code is doing and how.

Two flavors
Jira2markdown jira2markdown is a text converter from JIRA markup to YouTrack Markdown using parsing expression grammars. The Markdown implementation in YouTrack follows the CommonMark specification with extensions. Thus, jira2markdown can be used to convert text to any Markdown syntax with minimal modifications. Customized reporting on Jira data used to be difficult, but now it’s easy to make line, bar, or any kind of simple or two-dimensional charts. Convert from JIRA text formatting to GitHub Flavored MarkDown and back again. About; Fork on GitHub; JIRA formatting; GitHub Flavored MarkDown; J 2 M. Tired of reformatting text between GitHub (PR's) and JIRA? Copy+Paste or type anywhere to convert. Biggest heading h2. Look no more, upload your original unextended Markdown files and convert them to Jira wiki markup files. Yes, it’s that easy. Converting from original unextended Markdown The original unextended Markdown is based on the syntax outlined in John Gruber’s original design document. It already has many elements, but missed features like tables. Convert CSV data to Markdown table format, plus CSV to JIRA table.
Unfortunately, GitHub and JIRA use different kinds of text formatting notation. GitHub uses its own flavor of Markdown, while JIRA uses another set, shared between all of Atlassian’s products. This means I always have to re-format my texts between GitHub and JIRA situations like these.
Example
Jira Markdown Code
Take for example this Markdown text:
Jira Switch To Markdown
2 4 | Some code inline like `var foo = 'bar';` and a block like: ```javascript ``` |
Jira Markdown Syntax
Which would look a lot different in JIRA:
Jira To Markdown Format
2 4 | Some code inline like {{var foo = 'bar';}} and a block like: {code:javascript} {code} |
Solution
Someone said programming is a synonym for laziness. Well, that might be true. Because I got tired of this reformatting I started a little OS project called J2M. It’s a simple JIRA to Markdown and back again converter. For now it supports just what I needed at the moment, but feel free to fork the project.
