The Trello POSIX Filesystem, powered by FUSE, that everyone always knew they did not want or need.

The Main Questions

Why?

Because I wanted to learn Go. And what better way to do it if not by doing something fun?

Does it work?

To some extent, yes. At time of writing, the filesystem is read-only. One is able to obtain information all the way to the card level. Cards are represented as directories, and their fields are presented to the user as files. Not all fields are handled though, including comments and attachments.

Will it be further developed?

Probably not. I've had my fun with it, and it's unlikely I'll find a particular purpose for it, or that I'll find a use-case to include it in my day-to-day life. As such, motivation to continue developing it is pretty low.

Should there be interest on folks though, I'd be more than happy to develop a few more things, or to review and merge pull requests.

Running

Admitedly I have little experience with Go projects, so my understanding on how to run this code is poor. As I understand, it should be a matter of running go build -o trellofs <args> on this repository's src directory. Alternatively, go run trellofs <args> on the same directory.

The program will require two arguments: --mount /path/to/dir and --config /path/to/config.json. The former is the mount point for the filesystem; the latter the configuration providing credentials to access Trello's API.

Once the filesystem is mounted, it should just be a matter of using the specified mountpoint as any other filesystem.

Obtaining Credentials & Configuration

Given my purpose was not to figure out how to have a CLI application being able to authenticate over OAuth 2.0, I went with the easy way: grab an API key and an API token from Trello's developer tools. That worked fine for the purposes of this project.

Obtaining these tokens is achieved by heading over to Trello and following their instructions.

A sample configuration file has been supplied in this repository. Fill it with the appropriate values, and it should work.

Contributing

Given how unlikely it is for anyone to ever contribute to this project, we'll keep contribution guidelines pretty lax. The only things we'll require is a DCO, by signing off the work with a Signed-Off-By: My Name <[email protected]> line on the work's commits; and having signed, and verified, commits.
