command line utility for interacting with jira

Project description

Introduction

Simple command line utility to interact with your jira instance.

Installation

  • with easy_install or pip:

    sudo easy_install jira-cli
    sudo pip install jira-cli
  • from source (bitbucket repository):

    hg clone http://hg.indydevs.org/jira-cli
    cd jira-cli
    python setup.py build
    sudo python setup.py install
  • after installation, a few configuration steps will be prompted upon invoking jira-cli for the first time:

    ali@home ~ $ jira-cli
    base url for your jira instance (e.g http://issues.apache.org/jira):http://jira.yourdomain.com
    enter username:ali
    enter password:*********

    The details of your jira instance will be kept in ~/.jira-cli/config and the authentication token will be stored in ~/.jira-cli/auth. Once the authentication token has expired you will be reprompted for your username & password again. Alternatively you can provide the username and password on the command line as:

    ali@home ~ $ jira-cli --user=ali --password=sekret ...

Usage

A few examples to get started.

create an issue with only a title in project TP with default priority and type Bug:

ali@home ~ $ jira-cli -n Bug -t "Test Bug" --priority=Major -p TP
link                 : http://jira.yourdomain.com/browse/TP-24
assignee             :
summary              : Test Bug
issue                : TP-24
reporter             : ali

create an issue with priority Major and a description:

ali@home ~ $ jira-cli -n Bug -t "Test Bug" --priority=Major -p TP the description
link                 : http://jira.yourdomain.com/browse/TP-25
assignee             :
summary              : Test Bug
issue                : TP-25
reporter             : ali

summary              : Test Bug
issue                : TP-21
reporter             : ali
