README

trello-cli is a CLI tool for Trello. Makes sense, right?

trello-cli requires a minimum NodeJS version of 8

Installation

You can install this tool by running npm install -g trello-cli.

If you're an Arch user, it's also available in the Arch User Repository

Using trello-cli

Run npm install in the same directory as package.json to install dependencies

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.

If you get stuck, you can always run ./bin/trello --help or ./bin/trello command --help

Instead of running ./bin/trello just run trello.

On Windows

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.

Examples

# 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)"

FAQ

Archived lists aren't included when I run trello refresh By default archived lists are not returned by the API. Set the TRELLO_CLI_LIST_FILTER environment variable to all to include archived lists.
