Usage

If you installed the library, you can use the CLI as a system command:

kanbanpy [...args]

Or call it as a Python import:

python -m kanbanpy [...args]

Examples

Here are some examples of the commands available:

# Just display the kanban board
kanbanpy

# Create a new task
kanbanpy create "A new todo"

# Move task with id 1 to the next status
kanbanpy next 1

# Revert a task with id 1 to the previous status
kanbanpy prev 1

# Remove task with id 1
kanbanpy remove 1

Commands also have convenient aliases:

• create: c
• next: n
• prev: p
• remove: r

To explore the full list of commands, run:

kanbanpy --help

Tips

Aliases

A handful technique is to define a shell alias to call the cli and take advantage of the command aliases defined by the package.

# Instead of running:
kanbanpy create "my new todo"

# Define an alias in your .bashrc or .zshrc:
alias kb="kanbanpy"

# And type shorter commands:
kb c "my new todo"

Important tasks

Include a '!' in a task todo to mark it as important. The task will be highlighted when displaying the board:

kanbanpy create "an important todo!"

kanbanpy create "project!: todo title"

kanbanpy create "(!) new todo"
