Commands

Quick reference for all jig commands.

Worktree management

Command	Description
`jig create <name>`	Create a worktree (`-o` to cd into it)
`jig list`	List all worktrees (`-g` for global, `--all` to include base repo)
`jig open <name>`	Navigate to worktree directory
`jig remove <name>`	Remove worktree(s) — supports glob patterns (`-f` to force)
`jig exit`	Remove current worktree and cd to repo root
`jig home`	Navigate to base repository root

Sessions

Command	Description
`jig spawn <name>`	Create worktree + launch agent session (`--issue`, `--context`)
`jig ps`	Show worker status dashboard
`jig ps -w`	Watch mode with live updates
`jig ps -gw`	Global watch — all repos, live updates from the running daemon
`jig daemon start`	Run the daemon in the foreground (`--once` for a single tick, `--timeout` to bound its wait)
`jig daemon stop`	Stop the running daemon
`jig daemon status`	Check the daemon is alive, ticking, and not stuck (default for `jig daemon`)
`jig daemon logs`	Print the daemon’s log (`-f` to follow, `-n` lines, `--path`)
`jig daemon install`	Run the daemon as an OS service — a system service on Linux (needs sudo, keeps your groups), a launchd agent on macOS. `--as <user>` runs it as a service account, `--env KEY=VALUE` adds environment, `--user` installs without sudo
`jig daemon uninstall`	Remove that service (`--user` for the user one)
`jig attach <name>`	Attach to a worker’s agent session (`-g` to search all repos, `--repo` to target one)
`jig kill <name>`	Kill a worker’s agent session (`-a` for all)
`jig nuke`	Kill all workers and clear state (keeps config/hooks)

Issues

Command	Description
`jig issues`	List issues from configured provider
`jig issues <ID>`	View a specific issue
`jig issues create "title"`	Create a new issue (`--body`, `--priority`, `--label`, `--category`, `--parent`)
`jig issues update <ID>`	Update an issue (`--body`, `--append`, `--parent`, `--blocked-by`)
`jig issues status <ID> <status>`	Set issue status
`jig issues complete <ID>`	Mark issue complete

`jig pr comments`	Show review feedback on the current branch’s PR
`jig pr comments --pr 42`	Show review feedback for a specific PR
