$ koji help [[-h|--help]]

koji-help [subcommand]

    Specific Koji subcommand to display detailed help for (e.g., build, list-tags)

The koji-help command displays usage information for the koji client, a tool for interacting with the Koji distributed RPM build system used by Fedora and EPEL. Koji enables package builders to submit tasks to build hosts, manage tags, repositories, and monitor build progress remotely.

koji-help without arguments lists all available subcommands like build, tag, list, and watch. Specifying a subcommand (e.g., koji-help build) shows detailed syntax, options, and examples for that operation. It serves as a quick reference, inheriting global koji options such as --config for hub configuration.

This utility is invaluable for developers and packagers needing on-the-fly assistance without full man pages or web docs. Typically invoked via the main koji binary as koji help, though some setups symlink it as koji-help.

Not a standalone binary in standard Koji installs; use koji help instead. Requires authentication config for full context.

build: Submit RPM build task.
tag-build: Tag a successful build.
list-packages: List packages in a tag.

Inherited: --help (show help), --version (print version), --config=FILE (use alternate config).

Developed as part of Koji project by Fedora Infrastructure team since 2007; help functionality evolved with CLI enhancements in Koji 1.0+ for better usability.
