Using Gissue

Authenticating With Github.

Before you can use gissue you need to authenticate with GitHub. Gissue uses Githubs personal access tokens to authenticate and it is super simple to get a token. Simply run:

$ gissue --generate-token

You will then be prompted for your Github username & password.

If your account is secured with oauth this will not work. You will need to go to Github and generate a token in your user settings. Once you have your token run:

$ gissue --update-token <your token from github here>

You should now be authenticated with the Github servers.

Getting Issues.

When running gissue inside a directory with a .git directory it will retrieve all issues on the project you are inside.
