I need a way to get a list of plugins so that I can use them with docker jenkins in the format <plugin>: <version>

1. get the jenkins cli.

The jenkins CLI will allow us to interact with our jenkins server from the command line. We can get it with a simple curl call.

curl 'localhost:8080/jnlpJars/jenkins-cli.jar' > jenkins-cli.jar
