JiraCLI (Enhanced Fork)

This is a fork of ankitpokhrel/jira-cli with additional features for enterprise environments.

For complete documentation, installation options, and usage examples, please see the upstream README.

What's Different in This Fork

This fork adds features specifically designed for enterprise Jira deployments, particularly those behind SSO, reverse proxies, or requiring certificate-based authentication.

Cookie-Based Authentication

If your Jira is behind SSO, a reverse proxy (like pfportal), or requires client certificate authentication, this fork adds cookie auth support:

# During setup
jira init
# Select "Local" installation, then "cookie" as authentication type

# Sign in to Jira in your browser (authenticate via SSO/certificate as needed)
# Copy the JSESSIONID cookie value from your browser's DevTools
# Paste it when prompted - the cookie is validated and stored in your system keychain

# When your session expires, refresh without re-running full setup:
jira refresh

💡 Tip: Use Jironimo - a browser extension that copies your JSESSIONID with one click!

Improved Jira Wiki Markup Rendering

Enhanced markdown conversion for jira issue view using the j2m library:

• Fixed table rendering - properly normalizes \r\n to \n
• Fixed escaped markup - handles {*}text{*} → bold correctly
• Color tag handling - strips color tags while preserving content

Integrated Community PRs

This fork includes several community contributions not yet merged upstream:

• Worklog CRUD - full create, read, update, delete for time tracking
• Sprint create - create new sprints from CLI
• Remote links - add web links to issues
• API command - make raw authenticated API requests
• And more...
