terjira

Terjira provides an interactive command‑line interface for accessing Jira’s REST APIs. It lets users log in with an email and password (or API token for Cloud), then issue commands to list projects, boards, sprints and issues without remembering resource keys, as the tool offers interactive prompts and suggestions. Typical operations include viewing project details, browsing board backlogs, searching issues with JQL or keyword queries, and performing actions such as assigning, commenting, editing, attaching files, creating new issues, and transitioning status.

The client is aimed at developers, system administrators, and other Jira users who prefer a terminal‑based workflow or need to integrate Jira actions into scripts. It supports both Jira Server and Cloud instances that implement REST API 2.0 and Agile REST API 1.0, and can be configured for SSL and proxy settings.

Distributed as a Ruby gem, Terjira can be installed system‑wide or per user and runs on any environment with Ruby installed. The project is open source under the MIT License, includes automated tests, and welcomes contributions for additional features such as worklog management and component handling.
