Issue branches

Create branches based off issue number and title

Setup

You'll need to set the following environment variables for the command to work.

ISSUE_BACKEND

Can be set to github or redmine (specifically plan.io)

ISSUE_BACKEND_API_KEY

Your account's API key. On Github this is a Personal Access Token.

ISSUE_BACKEND_USER

For github, the user or organization the issue repository is under.

ISSUE_BACKEND_REPO

The organization or user's repo to find the issues.

The above environment variables will make a request similar to the following:

curl -H "Authorization token ${ISSUE_BACKEND_API_KEY}" https://api.github.com/repos/${ISSUE_BACKEND_USER}/${ISSUE_BACKEND_REPO}/issues/${issue_number}

changetype labels

The command expects to find a label prefixed with changetype: to create the branch. For example, some labels can be changetype:feature, changetype:bugfix, etc. This prefix will be used to namespace the branch.

Basic Usage

The example below issue 54 is labeled with changetype:feature and has the title Refactor endpoints:

[berto@g6]$ issue-branch 54

[berto@g6]$ git branch | grep '^*'
* feature/54-refactor-endpoints
