If you are an avid CLI user and use Git and Planbox, Jason Ardell has created a nice solution for you. It is called git-planbox; a command line interface to drive Planbox directly from your console. It is written in PHP as a PEAR package and depends on another PEAR package called CLImax – a command line interface framework for PHP.
To install and configure, consult the git-planbox help page on GitHub.
Once installed and configured, here are the lists of commands:
git-planbox list
Get a list of stories to work on.
git-planbox show
Show tasks, details, comments, and status for a story.
git-planbox start
Begin working on a task. Enforces branch naming conventions
and starts the timer for a task.
git-planbox pause
Pause the timer for a task if it is running.
git-planbox finish
Mark a task as finished. Stops the task's timer if it is running.
git-planbox help
Display this help message.
The CLI makes use of the Planbox API and git-planbox is open source on GitHub so feel free to fork it.
Thanks Martin!
Git-planbox is still very much a work-in-progress so the pause/finish subcommands are not yet implemented, and the start subcommand doesn’t yet start the timer in Planbox. These features are on my roadmap but pull requests are gladly accepted if you’re anxious to use Planbox from the command line.
