jiractl

A command-line tool for managing Jira.

Install

npm i @godaddy/jiractl --global

Optionally enable autocomplete:

jiractl install-completion

Setup

Add a context for the Jira instance that you use. E.g:

$ jiractl config set-context https://jira.yourteam.com
Username: name
Password:
Context "https://jira.yourteam.com" created.
Set default context to "https://jira.yourteam.com".

Add the teams in your project. E.g., for a project named FOO:

jiractl setup FOO

This will output the team names added.

Some team names are difficult to type or remember on the command line; to alias a team that you use frequently, run:

jiractl alias [name] [alias]

e.g.

$ jiractl alias "Orange Cats" cats

Outputs:

Aliased Orange Cats with cats:
 { board: 1234,
   name: 'Orange Cats',
   epicFilter: [ epicFilter ] }

You can then run jiractl commands using cats as the team name.

Example usage

jiractl --team=cats [action] [context]
