John Doe (2025-01-17T09:15:00.000Z): Looks great! ``` ### Move a card ```bash basecamp move --to "Done" ``` Output: ``` Card 44444444 moved to 'Done' ``` ## Workflow example To check what's being worked on and move a completed card: ```bash # Find the project basecamp projects # Find the board basecamp boards 12345678 # See cards in progress basecamp cards 12345678 87654321 --column "Progress" # View details of a specific card basecamp card 12345678 44444444 --comments # Move it to Done basecamp move 12345678 87654321 44444444 --to "Done" ``` ## Error handling If you see "Not authenticated", the user needs to run: ```bash basecamp auth ``` If you see "Token expired", same fix applies.
