Import a text file with Atlassian CLI

[Stefan Eike]

Hi,

I'd like to import some readme.md files from some Git repositories. The content of the readme.md files should be added to (different) Confluence pages. I do not want to attach the files to the Confluence pages, I want to important the content to the page directly to use the search function and to have the content displayed on the page.

• Would that be possible to do that?
• Do I need the Atlassian CLI plugin (https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/org.swift.confluence.acli) to do that?
• Do I need other additional plugins?

Thank you very much for answering!

Best regards

Stefan

Use storePage from the ACLI/Confluence CLI with the file parameter pointing to your readme file. You can add some before and after content as well if you need.

Do I need both plugins?

• Atlassian Command Line Interface
• CLI Plugin for Confluence

Or does Atlassian Command Line Interface include the second one?

This is a combined distribution including all product specific CLI tools.

Do I need the Run Plugin for Confluence as well to execute queries from a Confluence page?

Atlassian Command Line Interface (which includes the Confluence CLI) are client programs (runs on PC) - no plugins on your server are required to run from a client. The CLI plugin for Confluence provide additional capabilities to run ACLI actions from within Confluence. Atlassian CLI license requires purchase (but not install) of a plugin.

From your original request, it sounded like you just need a client to populate your Confluence with the pages. If you have additional requirements the plugin may be useful. Same goes for the Run plugin - it is useful if you need a user dialog for someone to interact with in order to create a page, etc...

Thank you very much for the detailled explanation! Now I'm asking for money.
