Welcome! Any kinds of contributions are very welcome. Please go through our contribution guide before you create a Pull Request for jcli.

CLI

jcli is a command line interface. So a CLI framework is super important for us. Thanks to cobra. It powers us to do a better job.

Jenkins REST API

API is another important part of this project. jcli manages Jenkins by the REST API. There is no full specification for this API at the moment, Jenkins core and plugins provide documentation independently. You can figure it by yourself, or just join our gitter room to ask about specific APIs if needed.
