Run Jipdate

The most straight forward way is to simply run the script

$ jipdate

Running it without any parameters (or with -h) will give you a list of all parameters. If you want to see examples of how to combine flags/parameters, then head over to Jipdate Examples.

Run Jipstatus

The most straight forward way is to simply run the script

$ jipstatus

Running it without any parameters will show all tickets updates for the current user in the last 7 days, including newly created tickets, state transitions, and all updates.

Running with -h will give you a list of all parameters. If you want to see examples of how to combine flags/parameters, then head over to Jipstatus Examples.

Environment variables

You can export both the password and the username with environment variables and thereby avoid having to enter them every time you run Jipdate.

$ export JIRA_USERNAME="john.doe@linaro.org"
$ export JIRA_PASSWORD="my-super-secret-password"

Warning

By exporting JIRA_PASSWORD there is a chance that the password end up in the history of your shell (bash, zsh etc).

The same can be achieved by storing the credentials in username and password in the Config file.
