Manage GitHub Issues with the command line

Have you seen ticgit? https://github.com/jeffWelling/ticgit

All the tickets are kept in a branch within your git repository. It offers a Gem-based CLI, "ti".

It wasn't quite as frictionless as I like my issue trackers to be (especially for personal projects), but it does what it says on the box.

so does ghi.

I suspect this is something everyone feels compelled to do.

For github I wrote ghissues: https://github.com/Neurogami/ghissues

But ended up not using it (forget why) so it's likely way out of date.

For Pivotal I wrote Pivotal Slacker; that was in 2009; Github ended up hosing the repo somehow, and soon after I stopped using PT.

Anyways, both of these grow out that little voice that says, "I wish I could do this stuff at the command line. How hard could it be? I'll just write some code ... "

I also have one for github and redmine.

Seems like a lot of people want a tool like this.

It actually lets you do this already, though the documentation is relegated to a manpage that doesn't get installed automatically. It checks, in order, for:

  - $GHI_REPO env var
  - git config ghi.repo
  - remote named "upstream"
  - remote named "origin"

So you can just use "git config ghi.repo username/reponame" to get the behavior you want.
