Trollolo - Trello command line client
trollolo [command] [options]
trollolo help [command]
Trollolo is a command line client for Trello. It supports fetching lists and cards and has functionality for extracting data for burndown charts.
--versionGive out version of trollolo tool. Exit when done.
--verboseRun in verbose mode.
--board-idMost commands take a board-id parameter. This is the id of the Trello
board. It is the cryptic part of the URL of the Trello board.
--rawSome of the commands take a raw option. If this is provided the commands
put out the raw JSON returned by the server instead of processing it to
a more human-readable version.
trollolo burndown-init --board-id=<board id> --output=<directory>
Initialize the given directory for the generation of burndown charts. It stores
the given board id in the directory in a YAML file together with other
configuration data. The YAML file also is used to store the data for the
burndown charts. The burndown command can be used to update the file with
data from the specified Trello board.
The directory also gets a script to do the actual generation of the burndown chart. Just run this script after each update of the data to get the latest burndown chart.
trollolo burndown --output=<directory>
Update the burndown data in the given directory from the Trello board
specified in the YAML file in the directory. The given directory has to be
initialized before running the burndown command by running the
burndown-init command.
The actual generation of the burndown chart is done by running the script
which is put into the directory by the burndown-init command.
For correct generation of the burndown chart, the Trello board has to follow
a few convention. They are described in the section CONVENTIONS for SCRUM
BOARDS.
trollolo fetch-burndown-data --board-id=<board id>
Reads data from the specified Trello board, extracts it according to the conventions for Scrum boards, and reports burndown data.
Read all card data for a given board.
Read all checklist data for a given board
Read all list data for a given board.
Fetch burndown data of a Trello board configured in the configuration file:
trollolo fetch-burndown-data --board-id=CRdddpdy
Fetch raw data of all cards of a Trello board:
trollolo get-cards --raw --board-id=CRdddpdy
Trollolo reads a configuration file .trollolorc in the home directory of the
user running the command line tool. It reads the data required to authenticate
with the Trello server from it. It's two values (the example shows random data):
developer_public_key: 87349873487ef8732487234
member_token: 87345897238957a29835789b2374580927f3589072398579820345
These values have to be set with the personal access data for the Trello API and the id of the board, which is processed.
For creating a developer key go to the Developer API Keys page on Trello. It's the key in the first box.
For creating a member token go follow the instructions in the Trello API documentation.
The board id is the cryptic string in the URL of your board.
The burndown functionality expects the board to follow a certain naming scheme, so that Trollolo can process it as a Scrum board.
It expects a list Sprint Backlog with open items, a list Doing with items in
progress, and a list Done Sprint X with done items, where X is the number
of the sprint. For burndown data calculation the list with the highest number
is taken.
On work item cards the tool takes a bracketed number as suffix as size of the
item in story points. E.g. a card with the title (3) Build magic tool would
have three story points.
Cards under the waterline not part of the actual sprint commitment are expected to have a label with the name "Under waterline".
An example for a board which follow this conventions is the Trollolo Testing Board.
