github-issue-template

A CLI for generating URLs to pre-filled GitHub issue forms

GitHub has a little-known feature that allows you to pass query params to the /issues/new page. Those query params can specify values to inject into the issue form's title and body inputs.

Installation

npm i -g github-issue-template

Usage

The CLI expects three arguments:

• repo
• title
• body

github-issue-template --repo sally/project --title "new thing" --body "the body"

If you want to use a file on disk as the body, cat comes to the rescue:

github-issue-template --repo sally/project --title "new thing" --body "$(cat some/file.md)"

Dependencies

• is-url: Check whether a string is a URL.
• open: open a file or url in the user's preferred application
• yargs: Light-weight option parsing with an argv hash. No optstrings attached.
