Jira Command Line Interface



Automate, Integrate, Migrate: Everything!

The ACLI uses simple, text-based commands to convert lengthy manual tasks to powerful, automated actions. This means you get the job done faster with less manual effort — a win-win for you and your team. There is an ever-growing list of apps that you can command and endless ways to automate tasks, integrate apps, and migrate (import and export) data.

What Is a CLI?

A command line interface (or CLI) is a text-based interface (API) for an application. Command Lines provide a concise and powerful way to interact with an application. Applications with command line interfaces can be automated via scripting. 

Appfire CLI (ACLI) is an integrated family of CLIs for Atlassian and Atlassian-related applications.

ACLI provide a consistent and reliable automation platform that allows users, administrators, script writers, and DevOps developers to do tasks, implement business processes, or general automation with Atlassian products.

CLIs are built on the Atlassian remote APIs and deliver a higher level, client based API that is easier to use and more powerful than the underlying product APIs.


Description

The Jira command line interface (CLI)  add-on  allows for:

  • Remote access to Jira.
  • Automation of Jira administration tasks.
  • Inclusion of Jira content as part of other automation.

Examples are build and test automation or other business processes.

You can use the command line client directly with your installation. 

This client tool runs on any system (Windows, Linux, OSX) with Java and can access any number of local or remote Atlassian products like Jira, Service Desk, Confluence, Bamboo, Bitbucket, Hipchat, and Trello. 

The Atlassian distribution provides a convenient, single installation to access all of your Atlassian products.
