This gem provides a small command line utility to convert Atlassian Jira exports (in CSV format) that have an HTML Description field (common when
using the jEditor plugin) to Markdown. This allows you to then import the Jira data into another instance that is using Markdown for the Description field
Install the gem
$ gem install jira-html-converter
Once installed, the gem provides an executable:
$ jira-html-converter convert SOURCESOURCE must be a Jira export file with a Description field. The file must be in CSV format.
The command will output a new converted file in the same directory with a -converted suffix.
After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
