JiraCLI v1.0 supports a wide variety of new commands, authentication with personal access tokens (PAT), OS keychain & .netrc for accessing credentials, custom fields, and many more.

My goal with Jira CLI was to build a simple tool based on my personal Jira workflow that would allow me to seamlessly complete the most common developer workflows end-to-end in the terminal.

The project started as an experiment over the weekends with the idea of making issue search and navigation as straightforward as possible. Over the course of several months, I switched teams/companies, worked with different kinds of workflows, and kept improving the tool to adapt to various use cases.

The tool is far from perfect, and I would not consider it complete. But it has all the necessary features to improve your workflow with Jira. The app supports both cloud and on-premises Jira instances. Regardless of the differences between these installations, I’ve tried to keep the overall experience as similar as possible.

The project has gained some traction over the past months, and I think this was a great time to release a stable version. I believe that this will allow everyone to integrate the tool into their daily workflows/pipelines confidently.

Moving forward, the focus will be on fixing some of the long-standing bugs, adding more features, and revamping the TUI to add more actions. Any sort of contribution is heartily welcome.

Lastly, huge thanks to all contributors. This would not have been possible without all the help.
