$ java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -s http://localhost:9000 install-plugin findbugs
findbugs is neither a valid file, URL, nor a plugin artifact name in the update center
No update center data is retrieved yet from: http://updates.jenkins-ci.org/update-center.json
findbugs looks like a short plugin name. Did you mean 'null'?


# Specifying a full URL works!
$  java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -s http://localhost:9020 install-plugin http://updates.jenkins-ci.org/download/plugins/AdaptivePlugin/0.1/AdaptivePlugin.hpi

# This code is meant to demonstrate the difficulty of actually applying .gitignore semantics manually.  It supports a key subset of .gitignore
# behaviors, including:
# * Anchored and unanchored patterns/globs.
# * Un-ignoring of patterns/globs, with the same quirky semantics as git.
# * Escaping a leading hash in a pattern.
# * User-wide exclusion list.
# * Top-of-repo .gitignore.

Make it real

Ideas are cheap. Make a prototype, sketch a CLI session, draw a wireframe. Discuss around concrete examples, not hand-waving abstractions. Don't say you did something, provide a URL that proves it.

Ship it

Nothing is real until it's being used by a real user. This doesn't mean you make a prototype in the morning and blog about it in the evening. It means you find one person you believe your product will help and try to get them to use it.

Do it with style
