jira auth switch

  • Usage: jira auth switch PROFILE [flags]

Set the config file's default profile. Use it when most upcoming commands should target a different Jira site or account without passing --profile each time.

This changes local config only. It does not verify credentials or contact Jira. --dry-run resolves the target profile and reports the switch without writing the config file.

Safety

--dry-run

Resolve and preview the switch without writing config

Output fields

With --output json, the response envelope's data object carries these fields. Run jira agent schema for the full machine-readable schema.

Field Type Description
active string
dry_run boolean
previous string

Examples

jira auth switch work
jira auth switch work --output=json # (1)!
jira auth switch work --dry-run --output=json # (2)!
  1. Return the new active profile as JSON
  2. Resolve and preview the switch without writing config
