ATLAS CLI for Jira allows you to any thing you normally do through the Browser, using command line terminal. Although most users are inclined to use Graphical User Interface (GUI) more than a Command Line Interface (CLI) there are advantages of a CLI compared to GUI:

  • Something needs to be scripted and automated: Since a command is parametric a simple command can be run on many different Jira sites, project, issues etc. You can easily write a one line of command and it can create thousands of issues without any user intervention.

  • Utilize Version Control: You can create shell scripts and put them under version control.

  • Shareable: Commands and shell scripts are just text files, you can send them to your colleagues and they can execute them with their own tweaks.

  • No need for browser: On-premise Jira servers are usually run on servers without monitors, you can easily ssh to remote server and run commands without any browser.
