Create GitHub organization project cards from stdin via GitHub API

Create GitHub project board cards from title data

Use the GitHub API to create GitHub Project board cards given a list of card titles on STDIN.

Usage

• Create a GitHub personal access token. This should be made by a member of the organization who can see private repositories.
• Place the access token in the file ~/.github.yml:

token: 1234567890feedfacedeadbeefcafe0987654321

• Create a text file in ~/.github/subscribed-repos.txt which lists each repository you wish to be subscribed to, in the format owner/reponame, one per line.

• Bundle, and run the script:

$ bundle install --path vendor/bundler
$ bundle exec script/create-cards.rb ...

Usage:
  script/create-cards.rb <organization_name>                           # displays list of organization projects
  script/create-cards.rb <organization_name> <project_id>              # displays list of columns in an organization project
  script/create-cards.rb <organization_name> <project_id> <column_id>  # imports subject data as cards into an organization project column

Example session:

$ bundle exec script/create-cards.rb orgname
name:       product development
body:       Tracking for work items for our product
url:        https://api.github.com/projects/123456
project_id: 123456

$ bundle exec script/create-cards.rb orgname 123456
