🧪 Usage & Commands

This document describes the various commands that can be used to manage JIRA issues from the command-line.

:mag_right: Search Issues

The search command allows you to find issues using a JIRA Query Language (JQL) expression.

Example:

search "project = 'PROJ' AND status = 'In Progress'"

:page_with_curl: List Issues

The list-issues command retrieves a list of all issues in a specific project, with options to filter by component, assignee, status, summary and reporter. You can customize the output by specifying the columns to show and the order to sort them.

Example:

list-issues --project 'PROJ' --status 'In Progress' --columns 'key, summary, status' --sort 'key'

:beetle: Create Issue

The create-issue command is used to create a new issue. You can specify the type of the issue (bug, story, epic, task, spike) and its summary. The --edit flag allows you to modify the issue before it's created, while the --dry-run flag simulates the issue creation without actually doing it.

Example:

create-issue --type bug --summary "This is a test bug"

:pencil: Edit Issue

The edit-issue command allows you to modify an existing issue. The issue to edit is specified by its key. The --no-ai flag can be used to disable AI assistance during editing.

Example:

edit-issue --issue_key PROJ-123

:inbox_tray: Set Priority

The set-priority command allows you to change the priority of an issue. You can specify the issue by its key and set the priority to normal, major or critical.

Example:

set-priority --issue_key PROJ-123 --priority major

:chart_with_upwards_trend: Set Story Epic

The set-story-epic command links a story issue to an epic issue. Both the story issue and the epic issue are specified by their keys.

Example:

set-story-epic --issue_key PROJ-123 --epic_key PROJ-124

:lock: Block and Unblock Issue

The block command allows you to block an issue, specifying the reason for the block. The unblock command removes the block from an issue. Both commands require the key of the issue.

Example:

block --issue_key PROJ-123 --reason "Waiting for PROJ-124"
unblock --issue_key PROJ-123

And many more...

Review each command and arguments to understand the depth of each command, and how it can be used to manage Jira issues effectively. It is recommended to always use the --dry-run flag when unsure about a command's effect.
