Features

  • Failure diagnosis — jenkins why explains a red build in one screen: each failing stage, the error lines pulled out of its step log, report links, skipped stages folded away
  • Interactive TUI — a full-screen explorer for jobs, builds and live logs
  • Log streaming — follow console output in real time, with syntax highlighting
  • Artifacts — list, filter and download build artifacts
  • Multi-server profiles — named servers with their own credentials, multibranch jobs included
  • Scriptable — every command takes --json

Install

npm install -g @kud/jenkins-cli
