Linear CLIv1.0.1

Development teams use the Linear CLI to track and manage issues during sprints. They create, assign, and update issue statuses directly from the terminal, integrating with git for branch management. This streamlines workflow by reducing context switching to the Linear web app.

Project managers utilize the CLI to create projects, set milestones, and monitor progress via status updates. They list projects and milestones, assign target dates, and generate reports using GraphQL queries. This enables efficient project oversight without leaving the command line.

Technical writers create and update documents in Linear from markdown files using the CLI. They link documents to specific projects for organization and view them directly in the terminal. This facilitates version control and collaboration on design specs or API documentation.

Teams across engineering, design, and product use the CLI to list team members, manage labels, and coordinate initiatives. They filter issues by state or assignee to track workloads and ensure alignment. This improves communication and visibility in agile environments.
