jira config init

  • Usage: jira config init [flags]

Create a config file with one Jira profile and token-auth metadata. Use it for a quick bootstrap when you want to add the credential later with jira auth login.

The command requires a Jira base URL and account email. It writes config only; no secret is stored and Jira is not contacted.

Configuration

--base-url <URL>

Jira base URL

--email <EMAIL>

Jira account email

Examples

jira config init --base-url https://acme.atlassian.net --email me@example.com
jira config init --profile work --base-url https://acme.atlassian.net --email me@example.com # (1)!
jira --config ./jira.toml config init --base-url https://acme.atlassian.net --email me@example.com # (2)!
  1. Create config under a named profile
  2. Create config at an explicit path
