Using trello-cli

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

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.
