Export it: `export JIRA_API_TOKEN="your-token"` (add to ~/.zshrc for persistence) 3. Initialize: `jira init --server https://your-org.atlassian.net --login you@email.com --installation cloud` ## Common commands ### Issues - List issues: `jira issue list -p PROJECT` - View issue: `jira issue view PROJ-123` - Create issue: `jira issue create -p PROJECT -t "Task" -s "Summary" -b "Description"` - Edit issue: `jira issue edit PROJ-123 -s "New summary"` - Assign issue: `jira issue assign PROJ-123 "user@email.com"` - Transition issue: `jira issue move PROJ-123 "In Progress"` - Comment: `jira issue comment add PROJ-123 "My comment"` - Search (JQL): `jira issue list -q "project = MKT AND status = 'To Do'"` ### Sprints - List sprints: `jira sprint list -p PROJECT` - View active sprint: `jira sprint list -p PROJECT --state active` - Sprint issues: `jira sprint list -p PROJECT --state active --plain` ### Boards - List boards: `jira board list -p PROJECT` ### Epics - List epics: `jira epic list -p PROJECT` - View epic: `jira epic view PROJ-100` ### Projects - List projects: `jira project list` ## Output formats - `--plain` — Tab-separated, no colors (best for scripting) - `--columns key,summary,status` — Select columns - `--no-truncate` — Don't truncate long fields ## Tips - Set default project in config: `~/.config/.jira/.config.yml` - Use JQL for complex queries: `-q "assignee = currentUser() AND status != Done"` - Open in browser: `jira open PROJ-123` ## Notes - Confirm with user before creating/editing/transitioning issues - For bulk operations, show what will change before executing
