List unassigned issues with high priority:

jira issue {{[ls|list]}} {{[-a|--assignee]}} x {{[-y|--priority]}} High

List issues from the current sprint, assigned to me:

jira sprint {{[ls|list]}} --current {{[-a|--assignee]}} $(jira me)

Create a new issue with a parent issue:

jira issue create {{[-P|--parent]}} {{parent}}

Open an issue in the browser:

jira open {{123}}
