Redmine CLI/TUI tool that wraps the Redmine REST API

redi

redi is a Redmine CLI/TUI tool that wraps the Redmine REST API.

Demo

Quickstart

redi init                # interactive: enter Redmine URL and API key
redi --tui               # launch the TUI
redi issue               # or list issues

See Setup for profile / environment variable details and Usage (examples) for the full command reference.

Install

I recommend installation via uv.

uv tool install redtile  # name on PyPI is redtile, NOT redi

Setup

Config

To use redi, you need to set the Redmine URL and API key in one of the ways below.

redi init (interactive, recommended for first time)

redi init

Then, profile will be created in ~/.config/redi/config.toml like below format. You can also create profile by redi config create, and update profile by redi config update (and also by manual edit).

default_profile = "default"

["default"]
redmine_url = "https://redmine.example.com"
redmine_api_key = "<your_api_key>"
default_project_id = "1"
wiki_project_id = "2"
editor = "nvim"
language = "en"  # "en" (default) or "ja"

["sub"]
redmine_url = "https://redmine.example.com"
redmine_api_key = "<your_api_key>"
default_project_id = "2"
wiki_project_id = "3"
editor = "code"

environment variable

export REDMINE_URL=https://redmine.example.com
export REDMINE_API_KEY=<your_api_key>

Shell completion

uv tool install argcomplete
echo 'eval "$(register-python-argcomplete redi)"' >> ~/.zshrc

Usage (examples)

Most commands follow the form:

redi <resource> <action> [<resource_id>] [options]

• <resource> — issue, project, time_entry, ... (almost every resource has a short alias such as i / p / te; init / me / relation have no alias)
• <action> — list / view / create / update / delete / comment (also has aliases: v / c / u / d / co)
  • redi <resource> alone is shorthand for redi <resource> list
• <resource_id> — required for actions that target a specific item (view, update, delete, comment)
