I’m currently in the middle of migrating a project from Pivotal Tracker to Trello, and couldn’t find any easy method of importing the data, so I spent this morning putting together a gem to do exactly that.
Introducing the pivotal-to-trello gem
pivotal-to-trello provides a command for exporting a Pivotal Tracker project to a Trello board.
Getting started
Install the gem:
> gem install pivotal-to-trelloRun the importer (replacing TRELLO_API_KEY, TRELLO_TOKEN, and PIVOTAL_TOKEN with your own credentials) :
> pivotal-to-trello import --trello-key TRELLO_API_KEY --trello-token TRELLO_TOKEN --pivotal-token PIVOTAL_TOKEN
See the Obtaining API credentials section below for details on how to obtain these credentials.
The importer will ask you a series of questions to identify which Trello lists you want to import certain classes of stories into. It will then import the stories into Trello, along with any associated comments. It does not currently have the ability to import attachments.
For example :
> pivotal-to-trello import --trello-key TRELLO_API_KEY --trello-token TRELLO_TOKEN --pivotal-token PIVOTAL_TOKEN
