#+TITLE:Org-Clubhouse

Simple, unopinionated integration between Emacs's org-mode and the Clubhouse issue tracker

(This used to be at urbint/org-clubhouse, by the way, but moved here as it's more of a personal project than a company one)

Installation

Quelpa

(quelpa '(org-clubhouse
          :fetcher github
          :repo "glittershark/org-clubhouse"))

DOOM Emacs

;; in packages.el
(package! org-clubhouse
  :recipe (:fetcher github
           :repo "glittershark/org-clubhouse"
           :files ("*")))

;; in config.el
(def-package! org-clubhouse)

Spacemacs

;; in .spacemacs (SPC+fed)
   dotspacemacs-additional-packages
    '((org-clubhouse :location (recipe :fetcher github :repo "glittershark/org-clubhouse")))

Setup

Once installed, you'll need to set three global config vars:

(setq org-clubhouse-auth-token "<your-token>"
      org-clubhouse-team-name "<your-team-name>"
      org-clubhouse-username "<your-username>")

You can generate a new personal API token by going to the "API Tokens" tab on the "Settings" page in the clubhouse UI.

Note that org-clubhouse-username needs to be set to your mention name, not your username, as currently there's no way to get the ID of a user given their username in the clubhouse API

Usage

Reading from clubhouse

  • org-clubhouse-headlines-from-query Create org-mode headlines from a clubhouse query at the cursor's current position, prompting for the headline indentation level and clubhouse query text
  • org-clubhouse-headline-from-story Prompts for headline indentation level and the title of a story (which will complete using the titles of all stories in your Clubhouse workspace) and creates an org-mode headline from that story
  • org-clubhouse-headline-from-story-id Creates an org-mode headline directly from the ID of a clubhouse story

Writing to clubhouse

  • org-clubhouse-create-story Creates a new Clubhouse story from the current headline, or if a region of headlines is selected bulk-creates stories with all those headlines
  • org-clubhouse-create-epic Creates a new Clubhouse epic from the current headline, or if a region of headlines is selected bulk-creates epics with all those headlines
  • org-clubhouse-create-story-with-task-list Creates a Clubhouse story from the current headline, making all direct children of the headline into tasks in the task list of the story
  • org-clubhouse-push-task-list Writes each child element of the current clubhouse element as a task list item of the associated clubhouse ID.
  • org-clubhouse-update-story-title Updates the title of the Clubhouse story linked to the current headline with the text of the headline
  • org-clubhouse-update-description Update the status of the Clubhouse story linked to the current element with the contents of a drawer inside the element called DESCRIPTION, if any exists
  • org-clubhouse-claim Adds the user configured in org-clubhouse-username as the owner of the clubhouse story associated with the headline at point

Automatically updating Clubhouse story statuses

Org-clubhouse can be configured to update the status of stories as you update their todo-keyword in org-mode. To opt-into this behavior, set the org-clubhouse-mode minor-mode:

(add-hook 'org-mode-hook #'org-clubhouse-mode nil nil)

The mapping from org-mode todo-keywords is configured via the org-clubhouse-state-alist variable, which should be an alist mapping (string) org-mode todo-keywords to the (string) names of their corresponding workflow state. You can have todo-keywords that don't map to a workflow state (I use this in my workflow extensively) and org-clubhouse will just preserve the previous state of the story when moving to that state.

An example config:

(setq org-clubhouse-state-alist
      '(("TODO"   . "To Do")
        ("ACTIVE" . "In Progress")
        ("DONE"   . "Done")))

Philosophy

I use org-mode every single day to manage tasks, notes, literate programming, etc. Part of what that means for me is that I already have a system for the structure of my .org files, and I don't want to sacrifice that system for any external tool. Updating statuses, org-clubhouse-create-story, and org-clubhouse-headline-from-story are my bread and butter for that reason - rather than having some sort of bidirectional sync that pulls down full lists of all the stories in Clubhouse (or whatever issue tracker / project management tool I'm using at the time). I can be in a mode where I'm taking meeting notes, think of something that I need to do, make it a TODO headline, and make that TODO headline a clubhouse story. That's the same reason for the DESCRIPTION drawers rather than just sending the entire contents of a headline to Clubhouse - I almost always want to write things like personal notes, literate code, etc inside of the tasks I'm working on, and don't always want to share that with Clubhouse.
