A GitHub App built with Probot that A bot that creates workflow connections between branches and issues they are created for.

• Whenever a branch is created for work regarding an issue, a comment will be left on the issue that links to the branch.
  • The branch name must match a specified pattern to reference the issue.
  • You may create a custom branch name pattern by following the instructions in the Configuration section.

• If an issue is part of a project, its status should be updated to "In-Progress" when a branch is created.
• When the branch is merged, the issue should receive an update.
  • If the issue is part of a project, its status should be updated to "Done".

Note that you do not need to create a config file. If one is not created, it is assumed that your branch names follow the format: optional-string/#-branch-name where # is the issue number the branch is created for. If you want to create a custom branch name pattern for this bot, you must add a .github/cib-config.yml as shown below:

# Change this value to define a custom branch name pattern that will activate this bot.
branchNameRegex: "^[A-Za-z/_-]*[0-9]+[A-Za-z0-9/_-]*$"

# Change this value to define how to extract the issue number from a branch name.
# Note that the first part of the string that matches this pattern will be used as the issue number.
issueReferenceRegex: "(?<=\/)[0-9]+"

You can install directly from this page

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Run typescript
npm run build

# Run the bot
npm start
