Jbuilder is a simple command-line utility which just runs any Jenkins job, an execution will be like this:

Install

Fetch the latest release for your platform:

Linux

sudo wget https://github.com/gocruncher/jbuilder/releases/download/v1.0.1/jbuilder-1.0.1-linux-amd64 -O /usr/local/bin/jb
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/jb

OS X brew

brew tap gocruncher/tap
brew install jb

OS X bash

sudo curl -Lo /usr/local/bin/jb https://github.com/gocruncher/jbuilder/releases/download/v1.0.1/jbuilder-1.0.1-darwin-amd64
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/jb

Getting Started

Configure Access to Multiple Jenkins

jb set dev_jenkins --url "https://myjenkins.com" --login admin --token 11aa0926784999dab5  

where the token is available in your personal configuration page of the Jenkins. Click your name on the top right corner on every page, then click "Configure" to see your API token.

In case, when Jenkins is available without authorization:

jb set dev_jenkins --url "https://myjenkins.com"  

or just run the following command in dialog execution mode:

jb set dev_jenkins

Shell autocompletion

As a recommendation, you can enable shell autocompletion for convenient work. To do this, run following:

# for zsh completion:
echo 'source <(jb completion zsh)' >>~/.zshrc

# for bash completion:
echo 'source <(jb completion bash)' >>~/.bashrc

if this does not work for some reason, try following command that might help you to figure out what is wrong:

jb completion check

Examples

# Configure Access to the Jenkins
jb set dev-jenkins

# Start 'app-build' job in the current Jenkins
jb run app-build

# Start 'web-build' job in Jenkins named prod
jb run -n prod web-build

# makes a specific Jenkins name by default
jb use PROD
