# plane-cli
|
|
|
|
A lightweight **zsh + curl** CLI for [Plane](https://plane.so) (works with self-hosted
|
|
instances). No build step, no dependencies to install beyond what you already have — it's
|
|
a single sourced shell file that wraps the Plane REST API with `fzf` pickers.
|
|
|
|
> Personal tool, built for a self-hosted Plane instance. Inspired by
|
|
> [`cpatrickalves/plane-cli`](https://github.com/cpatrickalves/plane-cli), but deliberately
|
|
> tiny: just functions in your shell.
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
- `zsh`
|
|
- `curl`
|
|
- `python3` (used for JSON shaping — stdlib only)
|
|
- `fzf` (interactive pickers)
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
git clone https://forgejo.ludique.dev/theo/plane-cli.git ~/Developer/plane-cli
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Add to your `~/.zshrc`:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
export PLANE_API_KEY="plane_api_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" # keep this out of version control
|
|
source ~/Developer/plane-cli/plane.zsh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Reload: `source ~/.zshrc`.
|
|
|
|
### Configuration
|
|
|
|
| Env var | Required | Default |
|
|
|----------------------|----------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| `PLANE_API_KEY` | **yes** | — (Plane → *Settings → API tokens*) |
|
|
| `PLANE_BASE` | no | `https://plane.ludique.dev/api/v1/workspaces/oloap` |
|
|
| `PLANE_PROJECT` | no | a project UUID |
|
|
| `PLANE_PROJECT_NAME` | no | `colorcatchers` |
|
|
|
|
`PLANE_BASE` is `<your-plane>/api/v1/workspaces/<workspace-slug>`. The active project can
|
|
also be switched at runtime with `pluse` (it re-fetches the project's workflow states).
|
|
|
|
## Commands
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
pl list open issues (shows labels)
|
|
pl -a list ALL issues (incl. done/cancelled)
|
|
pl -s backlog|todo|... filter by state
|
|
pl -p urgent|high|... filter by priority
|
|
pl /text search titles containing 'text'
|
|
pl -j raw JSON output (pipe to jq); honours filters
|
|
pl -h full help
|
|
|
|
pladd create an issue (interactive wizard)
|
|
pladd "title" [opts] create inline
|
|
-p priority urgent|high|medium|low (default: none)
|
|
-s state backlog|todo|progress (default: backlog)
|
|
-d YYYY-MM-DD due date
|
|
-l a,b,c attach labels (must already exist)
|
|
|
|
plstate [#] change state — fzf picker if no id
|
|
pldone [#] mark done — fzf picker if no id
|
|
plshow fzf-pick and inspect an issue (shows labels)
|
|
pledit [#] edit title/priority/due/labels
|
|
plrm [# ...] delete — fzf multi-select if no ids
|
|
|
|
plcomment [#] [text] list comments on an issue, or add one
|
|
pllabels [add "n" [#hex]] list project labels, or create one
|
|
|
|
plprojects list all projects
|
|
pluse [name|id] switch active project (fzf if no arg)
|
|
plsync [--dry-run] mirror open issues from all projects into an "Everything" project
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Examples
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
pl -s todo # only todo issues
|
|
pl -p high # only high priority
|
|
pl /login # titles containing "login"
|
|
pl -j | jq -r '.[].name' # scriptable JSON
|
|
|
|
pladd "Fix export button" -p high -s todo -l bug,urgent
|
|
plcomment 7 "fixed in latest deploy"
|
|
pllabels add "bug" "#FF0000"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
|
|
- `pl -j` emits the filtered issue list as JSON for piping to `jq`.
|
|
- Comments are created via Plane's `comment_html` field (the API stores HTML).
|
|
- `plsync` is idempotent — it keys mirrored items by `[IDENTIFIER] title` and removes ones
|
|
that have been closed at the source.
