JIRA-ISSUE-ASSIGN(7)

💅 JIRA-ISSUE-ASSIGN(7) — the jira cli girlies' guide to assigning issues

okay bestie, welcome to Jira CLI(7), section 7 of the manual pages, and today's main character is jira-issue-assign. yes, the hyphenated name is the manual page name, we don't make the rules, we just slay within them 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

jira-issue-assign — assign an issue to a user. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🫶

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

jira issue assign ISSUE-KEY ASSIGNEE [flags]

like, issue key, then assignee, then your lil flags. order matters, don't come for me 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Assign issue to a user. short, sweet, iconic. literally the entire job of this command and it does it. no notes 🔥

---

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• -h, --help[=false] — help for assign. the "wait what does this do again" button. defaults to false, so it's not gonna spam you unless you ask, lmaooo 🧚

---

🌈 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🌈

these aren't even this command's options, they're passed down from the parent commands like a family heirloom. still yours to use tho, no cap ✨

• -c, --config="" — Config file. default is /homeless-shelter/.config/.jira/.config.yml, and yes that path is real (weird shelter name, we don't ask questions 🙈). it can be overridden with the JIRA_CONFIG_FILE env var, iykyk.
• --debug[=false] — Turn on debug output. defaults to false. turn it on when things get cursed and you need to see the whole messy truth 💀
• -p, --project="" — Jira project to look into. defaults to /homeless-shelter/.config/.jira/.config.yml — yeah, that's what the manual says, don't @ me, I'm just the messenger 🍓

💖 EXAMPLE 💖

bestie, the examples are the moment, honestly. look at these. every single one. they ate 💅

$ jira issue assign ISSUE-1 jon@domain.tld

# Assignee name or email needs to be an exact match
$ jira issue assign ISSUE-1 "Jon Doe"

# Assign to self
$ jira issue assign ISSUE-1 $(jira me)

# Assign to default assignee
$ jira issue assign ISSUE-1 default

# Unassign
$ jira issue assign ISSUE-1 x

🚨 okay lowkey important: the assignee name or email needs to be an exact match. exact. match. not "close enough", not "you know who I mean". exact. so quote the name with spaces in it and get the spelling right, bestie 😭

case-by-case vibe check on those:

• email address → fine, exact match. slay.
• "Jon Doe" in quotes → fine, exact match with spaces. also slay.
• $(jira me) → assigns it to you, main character energy, assign to self. obsessed.
• default → assign to default assignee. the system's choice, not yours.
• x → unassign. the x is the unassigner. iconic little guy.
