Phabricator

MY WORKFLOW

I use these workboard columns: Backlog (Default), In Progress, Fixed

START A TASK: drag it from Backlog to In Progress, and change Priority to High (so that the CI dashboard shows the task).

FINISH A TASK: drag it from In Progress to Done, and change Status to Resolved (so that the CI dashboard doesn't show the task).

Install

Installing Phabricator is as simple as any other LAMP installation. We grabbed the three primary git repos, here: m@bitpost cd development/phabricator git clone https://github.com/phacility/libphutil.git git clone https://github.com/phacility/arcanist.git git clone https://github.com/phacility/phabricator.git Then set up an alias and directory in apache. Then a mysql user + db. Browse to the url to finish. Easy peasy.

API

The Phabricator API can be used to extract a query of tasks. You need to get a (permanent) auth certificate from arcanist: m@bitpost cd development/phabricator/arcanist bin/arc set-config default https://thedigitalage.org/ emacs .arcconfig # and set phabricator.uri to the same bin/arc install-certificate That will tell you to browse here. You'll get an "API Token" once you log in, eg cli-5sdfksomkhgvasdlfkwfelk or whatever (NOT that one). Paste API Token from that page: cli-5fxsvztkshgvtc7ssdf Writing ~/.arcrc... SUCCESS! API Token installed. It then creates ~/.arcrc with the token, which is used by subsequent arc calls, like this: Now you can use that in the API calls to authenticate, like this: curl https://tdigitalage.org/api/maniphest.query -d api.token=cli-5fxsvztksdfsomkhgvczjtcdts Pretty easy to use once you have the initial bullshit done. It certainly isn't secure though. bitpost.com uses the API to get a list of tasks. Generally, it's a really really bad setup though, as anyone can sniff out that auth token. Use ssl, for sure: https://bitpost.com. Maybe I should actually disable non-SSL bitpost.com... Actually the only viable solution is to do it server-side. Geesh. See bitpost.com/ci.php code for details. View active tokens here: https://thedigitalage.org/settings/panel/apitokens/

Tips
Wikipedia is done with Phabricator and is a great resource, for example their project management guidelines.
