Pivotal Tracker mode for Emacs

Pivotal Tracker Mode (pivotal-tracker) provides an Emacs based user interface for Pivotal Tracker. It's designed to give the most relevant functionality to a developer or pair working on stories.

Please note, it's not an attempt to replace all the features of the web interface.

Installation

You can install via MELPA

Initial Setup

Before using the tracker you must store your Pivotal API key somewhere Emacs can find it. Because your API key is sensitive information it must not be stored in clear text. Using the [auth-source] library Emacs can retrieve your API key from ~/.authinfo.gpg. Retrieve your API key from the Profile page and add a new entry in ~/.authinfo.gpg

machine pivotal-tracker.com password <your-api-key>

Once you've done that you'll be able to use pivotal-tracker.
