How teams are using Rovo Dev CLI
Teams using Rovo Dev CLI have quickly made it part of their daily workflow. Engineers rely on it to stay focused by offloading routine tasks like code navigation, feature implementation, and documentation generation. The agent helps developers understand new codebases, implement features with web-integrated research via MCP servers, and assist in complex code migrations, all without leaving the terminal environment.
By eliminating the need to switch between different tools and interfaces, Rovo Dev helps development teams stay in their flow state while working on what matters most.
Let’s explore how Rovo Dev brings intelligent assistance to your terminal through real-world development scenarios:
Explore and understand your codebase
Understanding your codebase is the first step to productive development. Watch as Rovo Dev analyzes entire repositories in seconds, answering natural language questions about code structure and technical implementations to help developers quickly navigate complex projects.
Connect to Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket
See how you can connect MCP servers to Rovo Dev. In this example, we connect with Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket to complete a work item end-to-end. From retrieving web data to updating the codebase, all in the terminal, with zero manual coding. And, if you’re using Jira with GitHub, we’ve got you covered, too.
Adaptive memory system
Rovo Dev’s intelligence grows with your project through its memory system. Watch how it uses memory files to retain project knowledge and adapt its behavior – you can even customize its personality to match your team’s style!
Code migration assistance
Finally, witness how Rovo Dev helps to tackle larger challenges like codebase migrations. Through structured analysis and step-by-step execution, it helps manage complex transitions while keeping developers in control of the process.
These demonstrations showcase just a few ways Rovo Dev can enhance your development workflow. Whether you’re exploring new codebases, implementing features, or managing large-scale changes, Rovo Dev serves as your intelligent partner in the terminal.
Join the future of development
Rovo Dev is your context-aware AI teammate for the entire software development lifecycle. Powered by Atlassian’s Teamwork Graph, Rovo Dev understands your company, your projects, and your goals, and connects the dots across Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, Compass, and more.
Rovo Dev in the CLI is the first enterprise-ready agent experience available in your terminal, designed to enhance productivity and streamline your software development process.
