Trellish

Trellish is used to start and finish a Trello card. It does everything necessary to move a development card from "Next up" to "In Progress" when you start work on a card and again from "In Progress" to "QA" when you finish a card.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'trellish'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install trellish

Setup

Create a ./trellish.yml, ~/trellish.yml or ~/.trellish file with the contents of trellish.example.yml. Set it up like this:

• Sign in to Trello and go to https://trello.com/1/appKey/generate.
• Copy "Key" from that page to trello_api_key.
• Copy "Secret (for OAuth signing)" from that page to trello_oauth_secret.
• Visit https://trello.com/1/authorize?key=TRELLO\_API\_KEY\_FROM\_ABOVE&name=Trellish&expiration=never&response_type=token&scope=read,write
• Copy the token to trello_oauth_token.
• Run: curl -u 'username' -d '{"scopes":["repo"],"note":"Trellish"}' https://api.github.com/authorizations
• Copy the token parameter from the response to github_oauth_token.

Optionally, Trellish can announce the starting and finishing of cards on 37signal's Campfire. To enable this:

• Sign in to Campfire and go to your "my info" page. You can find the link in the upper-right corner.
• Copy your subdomain name to campfire_subdomain.
• Copy your API authentication token to campfire_token.
• Specify the room name in campfire_room.

Usage

By default, Trellish expects a Trello board named Current with 3 lists: Next up, In progress, and QA. You can change these defaults using the Trellish config file.

To start work on a card:

trellish start [Trello card id or URL]

This will:

• move the card from Next up to In progress,
• add you as a member,
• create a local git branch named using your git initials and the card's title.

If you don't provide a card id or URL on the command line, trellish shows you the cards in Next up and prompts you to select one, like so:

Select a card:
1. BUG: crash adding a comment
2. users can select an avatar
3. add iPad integration tests
>

When you're done working on a card, finish it using:

trellish finish [Trello card id or URL]

Like:

trellish finish https://trello.com/c/a3Wbcde4
trellish finish a3Wbcde4
trellish finish

This will:

• create a pull request to merge your topic branch into master (with a description linking back to the card)
• add a link to the pull request from the card's description
• remove everyone from the card
• move the card to the QA list

Certificate issues

If you're stuck with an error along the lines of

SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed

try updating your root certificates. If you use RVM, this may work:

curl http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem -o ~/.rvm/usr/ssl/cert.pem
