Installation

To install the Jenkins CLI tool, use one of the following methods:

bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kairyou/jenkins-cli/main/scripts/install.sh)

Or use ghp.ci mirror (if GitHub is inaccessible)

bash <(curl -fsSL https://ghp.ci/raw.githubusercontent.com/kairyou/jenkins-cli/main/scripts/install.sh)

If you have Rust and Cargo installed, you can install Jenkins CLI directly from crates.io:

cargo install jenkins

Alternatively, you can download the binary file from the Releases page.

Usage

After setting up the configuration file (see Configuration section), you can simply run:

jenkins

This command will:

1. Prompt you to select a Jenkins service (if multiple are configured)
2. Display a list of available projects
3. Select a project and set build parameters
4. Trigger the build and show real-time console output

Configuration

Create a file named .jenkins.toml in your home directory with the following content:

# $HOME/.jenkins.toml
[config]
# locale = "en-US" # (optional), default auto detect, e.g. zh-CN, en-US
# enable_history = false # (optional), default true
# check_update = false # (optional), default true

[[jenkins]]
name = "SIT"
url = "https://jenkins-sit.your-company.com"
user = "your-username"
token = "your-api-token"
# includes = []
# excludes = []

# [[jenkins]]
# name = "PROD"
# url = "https://jenkins-prod.your-company.com"
# user = "your-username"
# token = "your-api-token"
# includes = ["frontend", "backend"]
# excludes = ["test"]

Configuration Options

• config: Global configuration section
  • locale: Set language (optional), default auto detect, e.g. "zh-CN", "en-US"
  • enable_history: Remember last build parameters (optional), default true, set to false to disable
  • check_update: Automatically check for updates (optional), default true, set to false to disable
• jenkins: Service configuration section (supports multiple services)
  • name: Service name (e.g., "SIT", "UAT", "PROD")
  • url: Jenkins server URL
  • user: Your Jenkins user ID
  • token: Your Jenkins API token
  • includes: List of strings or regex patterns to include projects (optional)
  • excludes: List of strings or regex patterns to exclude projects (optional)
  • enable_history: Remember build parameters (optional), overrides global setting if specified

Project Filtering

You can use includes or excludes to filter projects:

• includes: ["frontend", "backend", "^api-"] # Include projects containing [frontend, backend, api-]
• excludes: ["test", "dev", ".*-deprecated$"] # Exclude projects containing [test, dev, *-deprecated]

Note: Regex patterns are case-sensitive unless specified otherwise (e.g., (?i) for case-insensitive matching).

Username and API Token

Your Jenkins username is typically the same as your login username for the Jenkins web interface.

To generate an API token:

1. Log in to your Jenkins server
2. Click on your name in the top right corner
3. Click on "Configure" in the left sidebar
4. In the API Token section, click "Add new Token"
5. Give your token a name and click "Generate"
6. Copy the generated token and paste it into your .jenkins.toml file

Note: Keep your API token secure. Do not share it or commit it to version control.
