Primary LanguageShell

add trello card from your linux terminal with a single line command

Steps

  1. Log in to trello.
  2. Go to: https://trello.com/1/appKey/generate.
  3. This is your APP_KEY.
  4. At the same page, click on "generate Token".
  5. This is your USER_TOKEN.
  6. Take the board of your choosing. look at the url and extract the BOARD_ID: e.g. in https://trello.com/b/eV33ltgS/work it would be eV33ltgS.
  7. run in a browser or curl (replace BOARD_ID, APP_KEY and USER_TOKEN: https://api.trello.com/1/board/BOARD_ID?cards=open&lists=open&checklists=all&key=APP_KEY&token=USER_TOKEN
  8. In the resulting json, search for the name of the list you like to add the cards to and extract the LIST_ID. e.g. if you have the two lists called "today" and "later" the important part of the json looks like this:
{"id":"daf38f754ebbdaffaadc5332","name":"today","closed":false,"idBoard":"533334efb72ae5e34342d","pos":131271,"subscribed":false},{"id":"53dadffa5594a1cf68f8959ae2","name":"later","closed":false,"idBoard":"333f74efb72ae5e3ae3434","pos":126607,"subscribed":false}

and if you want to add to list "today", LIST_ID would be daf38f754ebbdaffaadc5332

  1. copy the file trello from https://github.com/teezeit/add_trello_card_from_terminal/blob/master/trello
  2. replace APP_KEY, USER_TOKEN and LIST_ID with your information. ideally, keep the filename trello
  3. put trello in /usr/local/bin/ and make the file executable
  4. you should be able to run
teezeit@1231239EB:~$ trello do not forget milk

from terminal. all inputs after trello will be concatenated

  1. do not forget milk should be appear as a card in your trello list "today"
  2. let me know if it works!
