FAQPage Schema
How do I create GitHub issues from the command line using templates?

You can create GitHub issues from the command line by passing repository, title, body, type, priority, phase, labels, and template flags to the CLI. The tool applies standardized templates and automated labeling rules before submitting the issue via the GitHub API.

Can I preview a GitHub issue before it is actually created?

Yes, you can preview a GitHub issue before creation using the optional dry-run mode. This validates the issue content, template formatting, and automated labels against your repository conventions without submitting anything to the GitHub API.

Does this tool work with any GitHub repository for issue automation?

Yes, the issue automation operates across any GitHub repository. It communicates directly with the GitHub API via a personal access token, allowing you to apply standardized templates and automated labeling workflows universally.

What do I need to automate GitHub issue creation with custom labels and types?

To automate GitHub issue creation, you need a personal access token for GitHub API authentication and a template directory for default issue content. You then use CLI flags to define the type, priority, phase, and extra labels for your issues.

How are issue labels and templates managed when creating issues from the CLI?

Issue labels and templates are managed through a combination of a local template directory providing default content and CLI flags. The automation applies standard labels for type, priority, and phase, while supporting extra custom labels.

When should I use a CLI tool instead of the GitHub interface for issue creation?

You should use a CLI tool for issue creation when you need to reduce manual setup and ensure alignment with project conventions. It standardizes feature, bug, and enhancement workflows with automated labeling and consistent templates.
