Summary

Atlassian Command Line Interface (CLI) is a family of products that provide a broad range of automation capabilities for Atlassian server products. The features range from simple actions to quickly accomplish tasks to very advanced capabilities to help administrators save time and deal with difficult application management issues. Getting started can be intimidating with all the actions that are possible and some of the environmental conditions that are required. The recommendation is to start with simple things first and experiment with some of the advanced features so you have a basic understanding of the tool's capabilities prior to the business problem that requires urgent action .
