Show HN: A CLI GitHub issue creator

1 pointsby james_marks7 months ago
I find value in creating high quality GH issues in the repos I maintain, but find myself not documenting features and bugs when I come across them. I work across 6-8 repos regularly, so even bringing up the right URL for the repo is a series of micro-efforts and clicks I do many times a day.<p>I tend to have the directories for each these repos open already in my shell, so I wanted a way to A) leverage that I&#x27;m already looking right at the repo because this is where I do my commits, pulls, etc and B) not switch contexts to a website.<p>I&#x27;m guessing many people have solutions in their editor with deeper git integration, but I&#x27;ve never gotten into the habit of using those tools.<p>When I plugged Claude in to help fill out the issue body, I was impressed by how spot-on the (admittedly very few) examples were, and it made me realize just how +common+ some of the problem I want to create issues for are across apps, and the boilerplate captures them well.<p>I suspect I&#x27;ll still want to put some finishing touches on new issues on GitHub.com, so the script prints the URL after an issue is created to at least save me the URL lookup so I can go drop images, etc.
