Kan CLI

Kan is a file-based kanban board CLI. All data lives in .kan/ as plain files.

bash
kan --help

kan list --help

Adding Cards

bash
kan add "Fix login bug"                        # Add card, prompted for details
kan add "Fix login bug" -c "In Progress"       # Add to specific column
kan add "Fix login bug" -l bug -l urgent       # Add with labels
kan add "Refactor auth" "Clean up the auth module" -c Todo   # Title + description
kan add "Subtask" -p 12                        # Add as child of card 12

Listing Cards

bash
kan list                     # List all cards
kan list -c "In Progress"    # Filter by column
kan list -b myboard          # Filter by board

Showing Card Details

bash
kan show 12       # Show card by ID
kan show fix      # Show card by alias or partial match

Editing Cards

bash
kan edit 12       # Edit card interactively

Tips

  • Use -I / --non-interactive to skip prompts (useful for scripting)
  • Cards are identified by flexible IDs (numeric ID, alias, or partial match)
