Allows you to easily create a new branch based on one of your opened github issues.

It can also sync with ZenHub to fetch pipeline name for the issues, so it is easier to identify your issues.

This CLI is ESM module only. Make sure you use some recent version of Node.

npm install -g git-cip

It should add git-cip executable to your shell. You can execute it like any other git commands

git cip

Note: keep in mind that global installation might add binary just for a currently selected version of Node. Switching node versions with nvm, or fnm might make command unavailable.

You can use mix of shell aliases and nvm exec / fnm exec to always execute this CLI with a specific version of Node.

During the first run you'll get prompted for all needed configuration options.

Zenhub integration is optional and you can skip providing a zenhub token.

Where do I get these?

• github personal access token
• github api url - as above or your enterprise endpoint
• zenhub token - refer ZenHub API documentation#Authentication
• zenhub api url - as above or your custom one like described in the #root-endpoint
• template - branch name template of your choice. Can contain following replacement tags:
  • {number} - issue number
  • {title} - issue title containing only letters and numbers and a dash character (-) which replaces all other characters
