lnr

Automation and JSON

Commands print a branch name by default, making command substitution simple:

Terminal window
branch=$(lnr quick "Fix flaky deployment check")
git checkout -b "$branch"

Use --json for structured output:

Terminal window
lnr quick --json "Fix flaky deployment check"
lnr issue search --json "deployment check"
lnr issue update PLT-123 --status Done --json

Issue JSON includes issueId, branchName, title, and url. For unattended creation and updates, supply all required input through flags; deletion additionally requires --force.

issue search always opens an interactive picker, even with search text and --json. Search text prefills the editable input; a user must press Enter to confirm an issue. The picker renders to stderr so tools can capture JSON from stdout while forwarding stdin and stderr to the terminal. Cancellation writes no result to stdout. Do not use search in unattended automation.
