shissue

shissue (shell issue) is a software that allows you to manage git project issues from the command line, without the need to open up a browser and go to your issue.

Browsers are huge beasts that can be slow sometimes.

Command line is small and fast.

Don't having a command line tool for issues made me write less issues for my projects, both public and private ones.

We have a command line tool for managing git source history, why not one for managing git issue history?

Build & Install

• Install the go compiler (pacman -S go, apt install golang, yum install golang, one of the three will do)
• Set the environment variable GOPATH to where you want to download the source
• Type go get github.com/arthurmco/shissue and wait and make a coffee. A folder named github.com will appear at GOPATH. Browse it until you find shissuefolder.
• Open the shissue folder
• Run the build.sh script with the folder you want to install shissue as the argument (like sh build.sh /usr/local/bin). Note that, for some directories, you need to run the script as root!

Usage

> $ shissue help

 shissue - view github/gitlab issues in command line

 Usage: shissue [options] command [commandargs...]

 Commands: 
	help                 Print this help text
	issues               List repository issues

 Options: 
 [-U|--username] <<username>>
	specify the username used in your repo account
 [-P|--password] <<password>>
	specify the password used in your repo account
 --allow-untrusted-certs
	Allow connecting to certificates not trusted by the system

• issues will list the issues from the current repository, if it does have a compatible remote.
  For now, it only supports Github public repos, but more will be added over time (I do have projects in other sites, too!).

• You can specify only 'username'. If you do that, the software will ask for the password.

• You can also store the username inside git configuration (using git config). Use git config shissue.username <<username>> for storing the github username, and you won't have to type it.

• In Gitlab, you have the personal access token for accessing repos without needing a password. Use git config shissue.token <<token>> to set it inside shissue.

What do we have?

What it already supports is bold, what it doesn't is not

Support for everything in this list is planned, so don't worry! 😄

• Support reading issues from

  • Github public repos
  • Github private repos (Maybe? Need to check. I don't have private repos)
  • Gitlab public & private repos
  • Bitbucket public & private repos

• Support for creating issues

  • on Github
  • on Gitlab
  • on Bitbucket

• Support for editing issues

• Support for viewing pull requests

• Support for viewing issues' and PRs comments

• Support for commenting on issues & PRs

( I might add support for that reaction thing in github issue system)

When everything above is implemented, I'll launch an 1.0 version.

Contributing

I do want your contribution. Don't be afraid 😄

Issues and pull requests can be done in Portuguese or English. I don't have preference.

What I need the most is someone to help building a test suite. I don't know how to test this without importunating the github API.

Why don't gissue ?
