v0.2.0

Renamed: jk → jkit.

The previous binary name collided with avivsinai/jenkins-cli, which also ships a jk binary. Renaming early to avoid muddying the conversation for anyone trying to install one or the other.

Breaking changes

Before	After
Binary jk	Binary jkit
Module github.com/ysmaoui/jk	Module github.com/ysmaoui/jkit
Per-repo config .jk.yml	Per-repo config .jkit.yml
XDG dir ~/.config/jk/	XDG dir ~/.config/jkit/
Env vars JK_* (e.g. JK_PIPELINE_SOURCE, JK_CONFIG_DIR)	JKIT_*

Old config will not be picked up. Re-run jkit auth login or move the file:

mv ~/.config/jk ~/.config/jkit
mv .jk.yml .jkit.yml          # in any repos that had one

Also in this release

• Documented PGV-first pipeline backend explicitly, including non-use of the older pipeline-rest-api (/wfapi/) plugin and the Blue Ocean fallback path. See docs/configuration.md and docs/DESIGN.md.

Install

go install github.com/ysmaoui/jkit@latest

Or grab a pre-built binary below — Linux, macOS, Windows on amd64 and arm64. Then jkit auth login.

v0.1.0

First public release.

jk is a small terminal CLI for the everyday Jenkins dev loop — trigger builds, tail logs, diagnose failures, lint Jenkinsfiles. Think gh for Jenkins. Not an admin tool.

It exists because I wanted to give an AI coding agent a feedback loop on Jenkins (did the change build? what failed? why?) without handing it credentials. jk auth login once, token lives in ~/.config/jk/config.yml, the agent just calls jk. Turns out the same ergonomics are nice for humans.

Highlights

• Auth stays local — jk auth login once, token stored in ~/.config/jk/config.yml. Scripts and AI agents call jk without ever seeing the credential.
• Zero-config job detection — .jk.yml → git remote origin → directory name. cd repo && jk status Just Works.
• Paste any Jenkins URL — classic or Blue Ocean. Host, job path, and build number are extracted automatically.
• jk diagnose URL — one-shot failure summary: failed stage, error excerpts, params, triggering commits.
• JSON output everywhere (--json), Go templates (--format), scriptable.
• Multi-host via --host flag and config aliases.
• AI agent integration — drop-in skill / slash command / sub-agent for Claude Code under agents/.

Install

go install github.com/ysmaoui/jk@latest

Or grab a pre-built binary below — Linux, macOS, Windows on amd64 and arm64. Then jk auth login.
