1. Set `jira` in the config file to your site and your email address at Atlassian.
2. At [id.atlassian.com](https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens), create an API token with scopes, for Jira, with the scope `read:jira-work` alone.
3. Put it in your login Keychain, as baton's item for your email: `security add-generic-password -s baton-jira -a you@example.com -w`, which asks for the token, so that it stays out of your shell's history. When the token expires, put the new one in its place with the same command and `-U`.
3. Put it in your login Keychain, as baton's item for your email: `security add-generic-password -s baton-jira -a you@example.com -w`, which asks for the token, so that it stays out of your shell's history. When the token expires, put the new one in its place with the same command and `-U`, which `baton jira` gives when Jira refuses your login.

baton sends the token to Atlassian's gateway, `api.atlassian.com`, alone, and never prints it. Any program that runs as you can read the item, though, the roles' commands included, so give the token no other scope.
