With this integration, each SVN commit will appear as a comment of a referred task and if you want to, you will be able to change the task details, log time* or move the task to a desired location on the board* from within this same commit message.
The screenshot below shows an example commit, which changed the task color and deadline:
To set up the integration, follow these steps:
- In Kanbanize, go to Administration -> Integrations and enable SVN integration
- Download this archive and extract it into the /hooks folder of your SVN server.
- Configure the post-commit SVN hook with the corresponding URL and the API key of any Kanbanize user.
We recommend using a dedicated Administrator user or a standard user (e.g. GitHub_user) with permissions to access, comment and modify cards on the desired boards. - Use the special syntax in your commit message.
Usage:
The integration can update Kanbnaize cards through "#" hashtag commands in the message.
Track commits
#taskid / #id – this is a required parameter for the integration to work. You can provide it in one of these three formats:
- #id 1234 (can be anywhere in the commit message and takes priority if present)
- #taskid 1234 (can be anywhere in the commit message and takes priority if present)
- 1234 (must always be the first thing in your commit message)
Examples of commit messages:
- `Change in the logging module. #id 1234`
- `Change in the logging module. #taskid 1234`
- `1234 Change in the logging module.`
Update card details
#title, #description, #priority, #assignee (with alias @<username>), #color, #size, #tags, #deadline, #extlink, #type
All these parameters can be changed via the commit message using our API functions.
Examples of commit messages:
- `Change in the logging module. #taskid 1234 #priority high #color ffaaff #deadline 2014-12-12 @Peter`
- `1234 Change in the logging module. @Peter`
Move a card
#column, #lane, #boardid, #position, #exceedingreason (if you are to exceed the WIP limit, provide a reason with this parameter)
Examples of commit messages:
- `1234 #column "In Progress"` - move the card to the "In Progress" column
- `1234 #column Done #boardid 12 #position 1` - move the card to the "Done" column to the board with id 12
- `1234 #column “Done.Ready for Deployment” #lane bugs #boardid 12 #position 1` - move the card to the "Ready for Deployment" column to the board with id 12. The card will be placed in top position in the "Bugs" swimlane.
We also support a bunch of move shortcuts that make it all easier
#move “Ready for testing/Platform Team” – Move the task to the “Ready for testing” column and the “Platform Team” swimlane
#move Development/ – Move the task to the Development column
#move “/Platform Team” – Move the task to the Platform Team swimlane
#requested – Move a task to the first column in the Requested section
#inprogress – Move a task to the first column in the In Progress section
#done – Move a task to the first column in the Done section
#<section> first – Move a task to the first column in the section
#<section> 2 – Move a task to the second column in the section
#<section> last – Move a task to the last column in the section
<section> can be any of the following: requested, progress, done
Update card status
#block, #editblock, #unblock
Examples of commit messages:
- 1234 #block “Not enough resources.”
- 1234 #editblock “Still not enough resources.”
- 1234 #unblock
Log time to card
#loggedtime – The number of hours you want to log to the task.
Examples of commit messages:
- `1234 #loggedtime 2`
- `1234 #loggedtime 0.5`
