Hi! Trying this out, but I cant get this to work. I am trying e g: Note: I edited the project in this "custom" jira config file to say "KP". Any ideas @aazon ? Best regards! |

This MR contains the following updates: | Package | Update | Change | |---|---|---| | [ankitpokhrel/jira-cli](https://github.com/ankitpokhrel/jira-cli) | minor | `v1.6.0` -> `v1.7.0` | MR created with the help of [el-capitano/tools/renovate-bot](https://gitlab.com/el-capitano/tools/renovate-bot). **Proposed changes to behavior should be submitted there as MRs.** --- ### Release Notes <details> <summary>ankitpokhrel/jira-cli (ankitpokhrel/jira-cli)</summary> ### [`v1.7.0`](https://github.com/ankitpokhrel/jira-cli/releases/tag/v1.7.0) [Compare Source](ankitpokhrel/jira-cli@v1.6.0...v1.7.0) This release adds CSV and JSON output support for issue listings and upgrades deprecated endpoints to ensure compatibility with the latest Jira APIs. > \[!IMPORTANT] > > - The [new API](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-issue-search/#api-rest-api-3-search-jql-get) does not return the total number of entries anymore, so the total issue count is no longer displayed in the search results. > - Consequently, the `startAt` parameter in the new API is unsupported. Therefore, the `from` part of the `--paginate=<from>:<limit>` flag is effectively ignored. Users can still paginate using the maxResults parameter (e.g., --paginate=10). #### 🥷 What's added? - feat: Add option to list issues in raw JSON by [@​evg656e](https://github.com/evg656e) in [#​840](ankitpokhrel/jira-cli#840) - feat: Add releases Subcommand by [@​vkhitrin](https://github.com/vkhitrin) in [#​851](ankitpokhrel/jira-cli#851) - feat: Support num comments in issue list cmd by [@​ankitpokhrel](https://github.com/ankitpokhrel) in [#​853](ankitpokhrel/jira-cli#853) - feat: Support CSV when listing issues by [@​ankitpokhrel](https://github.com/ankitpokhrel) in [#​854](ankitpokhrel/jira-cli#854) - feat: Allow skipping notification on edit by [@​ankitpokhrel](https://github.com/ankitpokhrel) in [#​855](ankitpokhrel/jira-cli#855) - feat: Add command line arg delimiter for custom delimiter instead of tab. by [@​iksi4prs](https://github.com/iksi4prs) in [#​662](ankitpokhrel/jira-cli#662) - feat: Add support for environment variable to specify config file path by [@​aazon](https://github.com/aazon) in [#​858](ankitpokhrel/jira-cli#858) #### 🐞 What's fixed? - fix: usernames can be 2 chars by [@​jontyq](https://github.com/jontyq) in [#​890](ankitpokhrel/jira-cli#890) - fix: Update deprecated endpoint by [@​ankitpokhrel](https://github.com/ankitpokhrel) in [#​892](ankitpokhrel/jira-cli#892) - fix: csv format priority by [@​ciricc](https://github.com/ciricc) in [#​882](ankitpokhrel/jira-cli#882) #### ☕️ Other changes - chore(docs): Add packaging stats to Installation section in README.md by [@​kskarthik](https://github.com/kskarthik) in [#​857](ankitpokhrel/jira-cli#857) #### New Contributors - [@​evg656e](https://github.com/evg656e) made their first contribution in [#​840](ankitpokhrel/jira-cli#840) - [@​vkhitrin](https://github.com/vkhitrin) made their first contribution in [#​851](ankitpokhrel/jira-cli#851) - [@​iksi4prs](https://github.com/iksi4prs) made their first contribution in [#​662](ankitpokhrel/jira-cli#662) - [@​aazon](https://github.com/aazon) made their first contribution in [#​858](ankitpokhrel/jira-cli#858) - [@​jontyq](https://github.com/jontyq) made their first contribution in [#​890](ankitpokhrel/jira-cli#890) - [@​ciricc](https://github.com/ciricc) made their first contribution in [#​882](ankitpokhrel/jira-cli#882) - [@​kskarthik](https://github.com/kskarthik) made their first contribution in [#​857](ankitpokhrel/jira-cli#857) **Full Changelog**: <ankitpokhrel/jira-cli@v1.6.0...v1.7.0> </details> --- ### Configuration 📅 **Schedule**: Branch creation - At any time (no schedule defined), Automerge - At any time (no schedule defined). 🚦 **Automerge**: Disabled by config.

Solves #713 #434
This pull request introduces a new environment variable,
JIRA_CONFIG_FILE, which allows users to specify the path to the configuration file.A common use case is working with multiple Jira servers across different projects simultaneously. In such scenarios, it’s helpful to maintain separate configuration files to avoid conflicts, especially with credentials.
While the solution proposed in #434 — using the
--config/-cflag — is a valid option, it requires specifying the argument manually for every command. This approach is prone to errors and adds complexity when writing automated scripts.Similarly, the solution proposed in #713 — relying on the
XDG_CONFIG_HOMEenvironment variable — affects a broader range of tools beyondjira-cli, which may lead to unintended side effects.Using a dedicated environment variable like
JIRA_CONFIG_FILEoffers a more isolated, portable, and context-specific solution. It integrates cleanly into different workflows without impacting other tools or requiring repeated CLI arguments.
