Sprints & Boards

jira sprint list                           # All sprints (explorer view)
jira sprint list --current                 # Active sprint
jira sprint list --current -a$(jira me)   # My issues in active sprint
jira sprint add SPRINT_ID ISSUE-1 ISSUE-2

jira board list                            # All boards
jira project list                          # All projects

Tips

• jira open ISSUE-1 — open issue in browser
• jira issue list --raw | jq '...' — pipe JSON to jq for scripting
• Use --no-input with all required flags to skip interactive prompts in scripts
• JQL via -q: assignee = currentUser() AND sprint in openSprints()
