A GitHub app to speed up the creation of GitHub issues using plain text.
This app allows to enter GitHub issues in plain text in a text box and will automatically create the issues on submission using the GitHub API.
The only required field is the title. It also supports assigning the issue to someone, setting a description (that can any length but no line breaks), and tagging it with labels. All these fields must be separated by a pipe character.
Assignation and labeling supports multiple assignees and labels if they're separated by a comma.
For example:
Issue title | assignee | Description of the issue. | enhancement, speed
The app can be found at https://fast-issues.herokuapp.com/
To install this locally:
git clone [email protected]:eliorivero/fast-issues.git
cd fast-issues
npm install
If you want to create your own, this requires you to create a GitHub OAuth app, and to get the client id and client secret into a .env file in the app root. It should be like:
CLIENT_SECRET=12345abcde
CLIENT_ID=12345abcde
Other accepted vars that can be defined here are:
PORT=8080
There are some scripts included to build different environments:
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
npm run server |

npm run build |
Build final files in a /public repository. |
