Customization Steps

	Step	Description
1	Find the example script	Look for an example atlassian.bat (Windows) or atlassian.sh (Linux, OSX) in the CLI installation directory
2	Open in an editor	See the comments for customization instructions
3	Add an entry for each Atlassian server or CLI you want to use	Use the entry that specific to the server product Name it something convenient for you to remember - usually the same as the instance is normally referred to in your organization
4	Optional Consider adding the installation directory to your path	Makes it easier to use
5	Optional for Linux or OSX	Copy or rename atlassian.sh to atlassian Best Practice This is what we follow internally to minimize maintenance for upgrades: Follow the CLI installation naming convention as indicated in the example script Put your customized atlassian script in a directory on your path Put a soft link to the atlassian script in each CLI installation directory This makes it possible to extract the correct CLI version for your script automatically Alternative Make sure the current directory (.) is on your path On upgrades, copy the atlassian file to the new installation Edit the file and find/replace the version if necessary
6	Use	Examples atlassian my-jira --action getServerInfo atlassian my-confluence --action getServerInfo atlassian my-bamboo --action getServerInfo atlassian my-stash --action getServerInfo
