bk adds job key filter flags
Introduced 2026-07-19 · score 0.95
HOW TO USE IT
When filtering jobs in a known pipeline build, run `bk job list` with `--build` and the relevant key filter flags. Use `--step-key` for a step, `--group-key` for a group, or both.
bk job list --pipeline <pipeline> --build <build-number> --step-key <step-key> --group-key <group-key>WHY THIS HELPS
Filter jobs by job key when inspecting a Buildkite pipeline.
REQUIREMENTS AND LIMITATIONS
- Version: v3.54.0
- --pipeline: Pipeline slug; the command can resolve the pipeline from the current repository or config. Use it to identify the pipeline for the build.
- --build (required): Build number; required when using either key filter.
- --step-key: Filter by step key; requires `--build`.
- --group-key: Filter by group key; requires `--build`. Docs show it can be used together with `--step-key`; they do not state these flags are mutually exclusive.
- Prerequisite: Install the Buildkite CLI (`bk`).
- Prerequisite: Configure an API access token for the CLI to access Buildkite.
- Prerequisite: Use `--build` with either key filter.
