Pybugz configuration

pybugz is a command line utility to interact with bugzilla. I was looking for a command line tool to retrieve information from bugzilla like status, comments, without having to go on the webpage (I didn't found equivalent with git-bz).

Get pybugz

Go where you want ($PATH), run:

cd $PATH
git clone https://github.com/williamh/pybugz pybugz

To install it run:

python $PATH/pybugz/setup.py build
sudo python $PATH/pybugz/setup.py install

Configure pybugz

Minimal configuration file $HOME/.bugzrc

[Koha]
base: http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/
user: USER@EXAMPLE.COM
password: PASSWORD

You can do an alias in your ~/.bashrc file for example:

alias bugzz='bugz --connection Koha'

Or without the configuration file:

alias bugzz='bugz -b http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/ -u $USER -p $PASSWORD '

source ~/.bashrc

Using pybugz

$ bugzz search datatable
* Using http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/ 
* Searching for 'datatable' 
* Already logged in.
