TheGitHub Issue Tool is a smart command-line interface (CLI) tool designed to streamline the process of creating multiple GitHub issues at once. This tool is especially useful for developers looking to manage dependencies effectively while ensuring their workflow remains efficient.

• Batch Creation: Quickly create multiple issues in one command.
• Dependency Management: Automatically manage dependencies between issues.
• Environment Detection: The tool detects your environment settings, including GitHub CLI and API configurations.
• User-Friendly: Designed with developers in mind, it offers a straightforward interface for managing issues.
• Productivity Boost: Spend less time on repetitive tasks and focus on what matters.

To get started, you need to download the latest release of the GitHub Issue Tool. Visit theReleases section to find the latest version. Download the appropriate binary for your operating system, then execute it in your terminal.

1. Go to theReleases page.

2. Download the binary for your OS.

3. Make the binary executable:

   chmod +x github-issue-tool

4. Move it to a directory in your PATH:

   mv github-issue-tool /usr/local/bin/

5. Now, you can run the tool from anywhere in your terminal.

Once installed, you can start using the GitHub Issue Tool. Below are some common commands to help you get started.

To create issues, run the following command:

github-issue-tool create --file issues.json

Theissues.json file should contain an array of issues formatted as follows:

[  {"title":"Issue Title 1","body":"Description for issue 1","labels": ["bug","help wanted"]  },  {"title":"Issue Title 2","body":"Description for issue 2","labels": ["enhancement"]  }]

You can also manage dependencies between issues by specifying them in the JSON file. For example:

[  {"title":"Issue Title 1","body":"Description for issue 1","dependsOn": ["Issue Title 2"]  },  {"title":"Issue Title 2","body":"Description for issue 2"  }]

For a complete list of commands and options, use:

github-issue-tool --help

The GitHub Issue Tool automatically detects your environment settings. However, you can also configure settings manually by creating a.github-issue-tool-config.json file in your home directory. This file can include settings like:

{"defaultRepo":"username/repo","defaultLabels": ["bug","feature"]}
