Geordi reads from a .geordi.yml file inside your repo and connects to Pivotal Tracker to list started and finished stories with their title. Choosing one of them generates a commit message including id and title from pivotal tracker. For example:

[#1234567] CRUD Users

Trouble shooting

If you encounter a bug like 401 Unauthorized (RestClient::Unauthorized) your API token probably changed.

Check if your API token differs from the one configured for geordi:

  • In Pivotal Tracker you can find your API token in your Profile Information.
  • Geordi uses the one configured in ~/.config/geordi/global.yml (previously ~/.gitpt)

If they don't match, replace the API token with the one from Pivotal Tracker.
