trello-cli is a CLI tool for Trello. Makes sense, right?
- Run
npm install
in the same directory aspackage.json
to install dependencies - Run
./bin/trello
to generate basic config in your home directory. - Get an API key and put it in
~/.trello-cli/config.json
- Run
./bin/trello refresh
to refresh the list of Trello boards and lists. - Run
./bin/trello
+ follow the instructions
If you get stuck, you can always run ./bin/trello --help
or ./bin/trello command --help
Instead of running ./bin/trello
just run trello
.
trello-cli currently supports the following commands:
add-board Adds a new board with the specified name
add-card Add a card to a board
add-list Adds a new list to the spcified board with the specified name
assigned-to-me Show cards that are currently assigned to you
close-board Closes those board(s) where the specified text occurs in their name
delete-card Remove a card from a board
move-all-cards Move all cards from one list to another
refresh Refresh all your board/list names
show-boards Show the list of cached boards
show-cards Show the cards on a list
show-labels Show labels defined on a board
show-list DEPRECATED. Show cards on a list (use 'show-cards' instead; command retained for backwards compatibility)
show-lists Show the list of cached lists
Depending on how node.js
is setup, you may not be able to run trello
straight from the command line as shown above. To remedy that, add the following to your Powershell profile (type $profile
at the Powershell prompt to find where your profile is stored):
function trello { & 'PATH_TO_NODE.EXE' 'PATH_TO_TRELLO_BIN' $args }
Replacing PATH_TO_NODE.EXE
and PATH_TO_TRELLO_BIN
with the values from your system.
You will then have the trello
command available anywhere.
# Add card:
$ trello add-card -b "Inbox" -l "Inbox" "Quick card added from command line" -p bottom
# Move all cards:
$ trello move-all-cards -b "GTD" -l "Completed next actions" -c "GTD" -d "Completed next actions (Nov 2-8)"
