A command-line interface for Bugzilla servers, written in Rust. Inspired by the GitHub CLI (`gh`), `bzr` lets you search, view, create, and update bugs, manage comments and attachments, and switch between multiple Bugzilla instances — all from your terminal.

## Features

- **Bug management** — list, search, view, create, clone, update, and batch-update bugs; view change history
- **Bug workflow** — view your bugs (`bzr bug my`), save reusable field templates, and run saved queries
- **Comments** — list and add comments, with `$EDITOR` integration for composing
- **Comment tags** — add, remove, and search comment tags
- **Attachments** — list, download, upload, and update file attachments with auto-detected MIME types
- **Flags** — set, request, and clear flags on bugs and attachments
- **Products** — list, view, create, and update products
- **Components** — create and update product components
- **Classifications** — view classification details
- **Fields** — look up valid values for bug fields (status, priority, severity, etc.)
- **Users** — search, create, and update users
- **Groups** — list members, add/remove users, view, create, and update groups
- **Server diagnostics** — check server version and extensions (`whoami`, `server info`)
- **Admin operations** — create and update products, components, users, and groups
- **Multi-server** — configure and switch between multiple Bugzilla instances
- **Output formats** — human-readable tables (with colored status) or JSON for scripting
- **Secure auth** — API key sent via `X-BUGZILLA-API-KEY` header by default; falls back to query parameter auth for older servers

## Installation

### Pre-built binaries

Download the latest release for your platform from
[GitHub Releases](https://github.com/randomparity/bzr/releases/latest).

Available platforms: Linux (x86_64, aarch64, ppc64le, s390x), macOS (x86_64, Apple Silicon), Windows (x86_64).

### From crates.io

```bash
cargo install bzr
```

### From source

```bash
cargo install --path .
```

Requires Rust 1.70+.

## Onboarding

If you are new to `bzr`, this is the fastest path from install to a working Bugzilla session.

### 1. Install `bzr`

Use a release binary from [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/randomparity/bzr/releases/latest), install from crates.io, or install from source:

```bash
cargo install bzr
```

For a local source checkout:

```bash
cargo install --path .
```

### 2. Configure your first server

```bash
# For Bugzilla 5.1+ (REST API)
bzr config set-server myserver --url https://bugzilla.example.com --api-key YOUR_API_KEY

# For Bugzilla 5.0 or earlier (XMLRPC)
bzr config set-server myserver --url https://bugzilla.example.com --api-key YOUR_API_KEY --email "user@example.com"
```

### 3. Verify authentication

```bash
bzr whoami
bzr server info
```

### 4. Run your first queries

```bash
# List the user's open bugs
bzr bug my --status \!CLOSED

# List open bugs in a product
bzr bug list --product MyProduct --status NEW

# View a specific bug
bzr bug view 12345

# Search across bugs
bzr bug search "crash on startup"
```

### 5. Save time with local workflows

```bash
# Save a reusable bug template
bzr template save fedora-kernel --product Fedora --component kernel

# Create a bug from the template
bzr bug create --template fedora-kernel --summary "Boot failure on 6.x" --description "System fails to boot after upgrade"

# Save a reusable query
bzr query save my-open-bugs --assignee you@example.com --status NEW --status ASSIGNED

# Run the saved query later
bzr query run my-open-bugs
```

## Quick Start

```bash
# Common day-to-day commands
bzr bug history 12345 --since 2025-01-01
bzr bug update 12345 --status RESOLVED --resolution FIXED --flag "review+(alice@example.com)"
bzr comment add 12345 --body "I can reproduce this on Fedora 42"
bzr comment tag 98765 --add needs-info
bzr attachment upload 12345 patch.diff --flag "review?(alice@example.com)"
bzr product list
bzr product view MyProduct
bzr user search "alice"
bzr group add-user --group testers --user alice@example.com
```

## CLI Reference

See [docs/bzr-cli.md](docs/bzr-cli.md) for the full command reference covering all commands and options.

## Agent Integration

### Claude Code

`bzr` works well with Claude Code skills because the CLI has stable subcommands, global `--json` output, and clear exit codes. See [docs/skills.md](docs/skills.md) for reusable skill definitions such as bug triage, investigation, patch review, and saved-query workflows.

Typical setup:

```text
~/.claude/skills/
  bzr-investigate/SKILL.md
  bzr-bug-summary/SKILL.md
  bzr-review/SKILL.md
```

Once installed, invoke them directly from Claude Code, for example `/bzr-investigate 12345`.

### IBM Bob

IBM Bob uses its own `SKILL.md` conventions under `.bob/skills/` or `~/.bob/skills/`. See [docs/bob-skills.md](docs/bob-skills.md) for Bob-specific examples and guidance tuned for `bzr`.

The same workflow design carries over cleanly:

- Prefer `bzr --json ...` so Bob receives structured data it can parse.
- Keep write operations explicit, for example `bzr bug update`, `bzr comment add --body`, and `bzr attachment upload`.
- Encode repeatable workflows such as "summarize bug", "review patch attachments", or "run saved query and report results" as Bob prompt templates.

The important compatibility point is that `bzr` is agent-friendly by default: global flags are consistent, machine-readable output is built in, and saved templates and queries let agents reuse local workflows without custom wrappers.

## JSON Output

All list and view commands support `--output json` for scripting and piping to tools like `jq`:

```bash
# Get bug IDs matching a search
bzr --output json bug search "memory leak" | jq '.[].id'

# Extract assignee from a bug
bzr --output json bug view 12345 | jq -r '.assigned_to'

# List attachment filenames
bzr --output json attachment list 12345 | jq -r '.[].file_name'

# Get product component names
bzr --output json product view Fedora | jq -r '.components[].name'

# List allowed status transitions from NEW
bzr --output json field list status | jq '.[] | select(.name == "NEW") | .can_change_to'
```

## Configuration & Authentication

Configuration is stored in `~/.config/bzr/config.toml` with support for multiple named servers. See [docs/bzr-cli.md](docs/bzr-cli.md#configuration-file-format) for the full file format.

## Authentication

`bzr` authenticates using Bugzilla API keys. When you run `bzr config set-server`, it auto-detects whether your server supports header-based auth (`X-BUGZILLA-API-KEY`) or query parameter auth (`Bugzilla_api_key`), and caches the result. See [docs/bzr-cli.md](docs/bzr-cli.md#authentication) for details on generating and configuring API keys.
