trello-card-maker

Makes a set of cards in a specific column on a Trello board. Stupid utility that let's me recreate a bunch of cards on a Trello board without having to do it by hand every time.

Configuration

You need to configure your credentials for this to work. I've included bin/auth-with-trello to do this for you. It just:

Fetches your developer key from https://trello.com/1/appKey/generate
Uses that key to generate OAuth URL key from trello.com/1/authorize?key=TRELLO_DEVELOPER_PUBLIC_KEY&name=trello-card-maker&response_type=token&scope=read,write,account&expiration=never

It saves all of this information into .config/auth.yml for you.

It should look like this:

---
:developer_public_key: TRELLO_DEVELOPER_PUBLIC_KEY
:member_token: TRELLO_MEMBER_TOKEN

NEVER CHECK THIS INFORMATION IN! This is sensitive information and you don't want others to have it. The default repository .gitignore ignores this directory for a reason.

Configure the cards you want created in .config/cards.yml. This file has the form:

---
:board:
  :name: BOARD_NAME
:list:
  :name: LIST_NAME
  :card_prefix: OPTIONAL_PREFIX_FOR_EVERY_CARD
  :card_postfix: OPTIONAL_POSTFIX_FOR_EVERY_CARD
:cards:
  - CARD_1
  - CARD_2
  - CARD_3

Once that's done run:

bundle install

and you're ready to go! Prefix all the commands with bundle exec <command> when you're calling them.

Usage

`bundle exec bin/auth-with-trello [options]`

Get credentials to use the tools with your Trello account.

Options:

--auth=AUTH -- A yaml file with authorization credentials in it (default: .config/auth.yml)

`bundle exec bin/make-cards`

Makes the cards for you on the Trello board. Reads the board, the list and the cards to create from the .config/cards.yml file.

Options:

--dry-run -- Prints what it would have done, doesn't actually change the board
--auth=AUTH -- A yaml file with authorization credentials in it (default: .config/auth.yml)
--config=CONFIG -- A yaml file with configuration information in it (default: .config/cards.yml)
