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