It brings common issue, epic, sprint, board, project, and workflow actions into the terminal with interactive lists, POSIX-style flags, JQL support, browser opening, clipboard helpers, and machine-readable output modes. ### Project history The project README says the tool began with the idea of making Jira issue search and navigation straightforward, then evolved into a fuller day-to-day Jira workflow tool with issue creation, cloning, linking, transitions, and more. It also states that the project was heavily inspired by GitHub CLI, which explains its command-group structure and terminal-first ergonomics. Public GitHub releases start in 2021. Version 1.0.0 in 2022 marked a major compatibility point and added or stabilized features such as custom fields, `.netrc`, keychain support, personal access tokens, issue deletion, non-interactive init, custom-field editing, and a broader contributor base. Later releases kept tracking Jira API changes and terminal automation needs, including CSV and raw JSON output in v1.7.0. ### Adoption history jira-cli has adoption signals typical of a workhorse developer-productivity CLI: GitHub release binaries, Docker usage, Homebrew and other package-manager entries, sponsor/supporter badges, and README documentation for Jira Cloud and Jira Server. Its usefulness increases in organizations where developers live in terminals but still need to search, update, transition, and inspect Jira tickets. ### How it is used The tool is initialized with `jira init`, uses `JIRA_API_TOKEN` for cloud or on-premise authentication, supports `.netrc` and keychains for credentials, and stores configuration under the XDG config path by default. Day-to-day use includes `jira issue list`, raw JQL through `--jql`, interactive navigation, issue view, transitions, browser opening, clipboard copying, issue creation and editing, and output in plain, raw JSON, or CSV forms. ### Why package nerds care jira-cli fills a packaging niche left by web-heavy enterprise tooling: it turns Jira into a scriptable and interactive terminal program. Package nerds care because it is a Go CLI with standalone releases, package-manager coverage, and a tight feedback loop with upstream API churn, all for a service many developers are required to use whether they like the browser UI or not. ### Timeline - 2021: v0.0.0 and v0.1.0 began the public release series. - 2022: v1.0.0 marked a major release with custom fields, `.netrc`, keychains, personal access tokens, issue deletion, non-interactive init, and broader issue-editing support. - 2023: v1.3.0 and v1.4.0 continued the 1.x line of Jira workflow features. - 2024: v1.5.x releases continued maintenance of the command suite. - 2025: v1.7.0 added raw JSON and CSV issue-listing output and updated deprecated Jira endpoints. ### Related projects - jira-cli is related to GitHub CLI by inspiration and to other terminal project-management tools such as gh, glab, linear-cli, and taskwarrior-style workflows. It is also adjacent to Atlassian's Jira Cloud and Jira Server/Data Center APIs. ### Sources - - - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
