## What it is
JiraTUI is a terminal user interface (TUI) and CLI for interacting with Atlassian Jira, built with the Textual and Rich frameworks. It supports both Jira Cloud and on-premises instances via REST API v2/v3, letting users search, create, update, and comment on work items from the shell.

## Use cases
- manage jira issues from the terminal
- search jira tasks with jql from the command line
- create and update jira tickets without opening a browser
- add or delete comments on jira work items from the shell
- link and unlink related jira tasks in a tui
- track assigned jira tasks by status or priority in the terminal

## When to choose
- you live in the terminal and want to manage Jira without switching to a browser
- you need both an interactive TUI and scriptable CLI commands for Jira
- you use Jira Cloud or Data Center and want REST API v2/v3 support

## When to avoid
- you prefer a graphical Jira client or browser-based workflow
- you need project administration features beyond issue, comment, and user management
- you don't use Atlassian Jira at all
