What it's for

jira reads and writes issues in Jira Cloud from a terminal. It exists for the moments when you already know what you want to record and opening a browser, waiting for a board to load and clicking through a form is the slowest part of the job — jira issue list to see what is assigned to you, jira issue create to file something before you lose the thought.

Commands follow a noun verb shape (jira issue list, jira issue create), so the tool is explorable with jira --help rather than memorised.

Install

dotnet tool install --global grdev.jira-cli

Published on NuGet as grdev.jira-cli.

Setup

It reads a single config file at %USERPROFILE%\.grdev.jira-cli\config.json holding your Jira host, your account email and an API token — generated from Atlassian account security.
