monoban whoami
monoban logout

Signing in opens monoban.dev/panel and asks you to authorize this computer. Over SSH, or anywhere without a browser, monoban login --device shows a code to approve at monoban.dev/panel/device on any device. The sign-in is kept in your system keychain, and you can sign CLIs out in monoban.dev/panel → Devices & tokens.

monoban projects                      # your projects and their keys
monoban list                          # the board, by column (or: monoban ls backlog doing)
monoban add "Write the docs" -c todo  # -d "text", -d - (stdin) or -e ($EDITOR) for a description
monoban show MON-12
monoban move MON-12 in-progress       # columns match loosely: any case, a unique prefix
monoban done MON-12
monoban edit MON-12                   # title and description in $EDITOR
monoban rm MON-12
monoban open MON-12                   # in the browser

In a clone of your repository, monoban link MON links project MON to it (its GitHub origin): from then on commands there use MON, in any clone of it. Elsewhere, pick the project with -p MON or MONOBAN_PROJECT=MON; with a single project, that one is used. monoban unlink undoes a link. Every command takes --json. Exit codes: 0 ok, 1 error, 2 usage, 4 not signed in, 5 not found.
