Output Selection to stdout

[davidturissini]

I think it would be really nice if I could select an issue from the interactive view and have the jira id outputted to STDOUT. Right now, it seems that you can only open the web browser after selecting and issue. If I could "select" an issue and have that be pipe-able, it would really open the possibilities.

Example:

$ jira sprint list --current | xargs echo # FOO-1234

More specifically:

$ jira sprint list --current | xargs -I '{}' git checkout -b "{}"

@davidturissini Not sure if I understood this properly. Do you mean to do something like this?

jira sprint list --current --plain --no-headers --columns=KEY | xargs echo

[davidturissini]

Yes, but instead of just piping the whole list, I want to select a specific issue using the existing views.

The flow is:

• $ jira sprint list --current

• Select an issue from the list

• that selected issue is piped to stdout.

As far as I can tell, you can only "select" an issue to open in browser
