JIRA-ISSUE-WATCH(7)

📦 version 1.7.0, in nixos 26.05, nixpkgs unstable

💅 Jira CLI(7) — the jira-issue-watch glow-up 🎀

Okay bestie, welcome to the jira-issue-watch page from the Jira CLI manual, section 7. This is the part where you learn how to slide someone into an issue's watcher list. Pull up a chair, it's gonna be cute and useful. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

jira-issue-watch — literally just adds a user to the issue watchers. That's the whole job. She's got one task and she ate. 👑

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

jira issue watch ISSUE-KEY WATCHER [flags]

That's it. Issue key, watcher, maybe some flags if you're feeling spicy. 🌶️

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Adds a user to issue watchers. That's the vibe. Short, sweet, iconic, no notes. 💖

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -h, --help[=false] — shows the help for watch. The classic. The safety net. The "wait what does this do again" button. 🫶

🌈 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🌈

These aren't hers, she borrowed them from her parents (the parent commands). Still slay though:

  • -c, --config="" — config file. Default is /homeless-shelter/.config/.jira/.config.yml, and you can override it with the JIRA_CONFIG_FILE env var. iykyk. 🗂️
  • --debug[=false] — turns on debug output. For when you want to see everything the little guy is thinking. 💀
  • -p, --project="" — the Jira project to look into. Defaults to /homeless-shelter/.config/.jira/.config.yml. Yes, that's a file path as a default for a project — that's what the page says, don't come for me, I'm just the messenger. 🙈

💜 EXAMPLE 💜

The canonical one:

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

Important note incoming, so listen up:

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

Like, exact exact. No fuzzy vibes, no "close enough". Match the string or she won't find them. 😭

And the main character move — adding yourself:

# Add self to watchers
$ jira issue watch ISSUE-1 $(jira me)

$(jira me) — using the tool on itself, we love a self-aware queen. 👑
