Jira workflow for new projects

Associated workflow creation

I'm a Jira Cloud user and begining from some version 6, I noticed that when I create a project, it automatically creates a Workflow and Issue Scheme that is prepended by the project key and which is a copy of the default scheme.

I always had to make a cleanup after creating a project.

Default workflow for new projects

I also miss a feature that would allow me to make a custom workflow (and globally custom project setting) the default for new projects I create.

Solution: Create with shared configuration

While searching, I noticed that with Jira Cloud which is version 7.1.0 at the time I write, there is a link at the bottom of the "Create project" wizard:

"Create with shared configuration" will allow me to select the project I want the new one to share configuration with.

  • The new created project will use the same configuration as the project I select
  • There will be no creation of Workflow and Issue Scheme that I need to cleanup


This feature is a solution to the reported issues:

  • https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/45156/how-do-you-change-the-default-workflow-to-a-custom-one

Also having a Jira 6.4 Hosted, the dialog is a bit different and unfortunately what I avoid is only the creation of Workflow and Issue Scheme. I have to click on "Jira Default Schemes":

The new project will have the default configuration that I will have to manually change, but no Workflow and Issue Scheme will be added to the system.

npm run build base-href

Using NPM to specify base-href When building an Angular application, people usually use "ng" and pass arguments to that invocation. Typically, when wanting to hard code "base-href" in "index.html", one will issue: ng build --base-href='https://ngx.rktmb.org/foo' I used to build my angular apps through Bamboo or Jenkins and they have a "npm" plugin. I got the habit to build the application with "npm run build" before deploying it. But the development team once asked me to set the "--base-href='https://ngx.rktmb.org/foo'" parameter. npm run build --base-href='https://ngx.rktmb.org/foo did not set the base href in indext.html After looking for a while, I found https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/13560 where it says: You need to use −− to pass arguments to npm scripts. This did the job! The command to issue is then: npm run build -- --base-href='https://ngx.rktmb.org/foo...

wget maven ntlm proxy

How to make wget, curl and Maven download behind an NTLM Proxy Working on CentOS, behind an NTLM proxy: yum can deal without problem with a NTLM Proxy wget, curl and Maven cannot The solution is to use " cntlm ". " cntlm " is a NTLM client for proxies requiring NTLM authentication. How it works Install "cntlm" Configure "cntlm"  by giving it your credentials by giving it the NTLM Proxy Start "cntlm" deamon (it listens to "127.0.0.1:3128") Configure wget, curl and Maven to use "cntlm" instead of using directly the NTLM Proxy Note: You will have then a kind of 2 stages Proxy : cntlm + the NTLM proxy Configure CNTLM After installing cntlm, the configuration file is in "cntlm.conf". You must have your domain (in the Windows meaning), proxy login and  proxy password. Mine are respectively: rktmb.org, mihamina, 1234abcd (yes, just for the example) You must have you NTLM Proxy Hostnama or IP ...

VMWare Keyboard Latency
