Fgi

Welcome to Fast Gitlab Issues!

Fast Gitlab Issues, aka Fgi, is a command line issue creation tool for Gitlab v8.8+.

To install, add the following to your project's Gemfile:

gem 'fgi', git: 'https://github.com/moduloTech/fast-gitlab-issues.git'

And run bundle install.

After it finishes, run $ fgi --config if the gem is new to the project, or run $ fgi --token <token> if you are new to the project and fgi was previously installed.

You can create your token from Gitlab -> Settings -> Access Tokens From then on, create your issues from the console:

$ fgi My awesome title goes here

This will open our default text editor (currently hardcoded to Vim) so you can provide a description, and when you close, it will create an issue on Gitlab. A link to the new issue will be provided if you want to check it out.

The following commands are currently supported:

$ fgi <title> # initiates the process to create a gitlab issue
$ fgi --help # opens this help menu
$ fgi --config # starts the configuration wizard
$ fgi --token <token> # saves the private gitlab token to a file and adds it to .gitignore

The config will ask you for your gitlab access token (you can get it from AF2) and the project URL from gitlab.

Any bugs/requests please open an issue, feel free to use fgi to do so!

TOdos

Currently fgi doesn't count time, i'd add this functionality

• start, pause, resume, finish, or something like that.
• i'd add shortcuts "fgi new" > "fgi n"
• it doesn't operate with labels
• i couldn't find list command to enlist existing issues. something like "fgi list todo"

Lev's best workflow is:

• find an issue from todo or milestone with list command
• get its description
• start working:
  • start timer
    • change its label todo > doing (wip)
    • set up a branch
• optionally pause / resume timer, execute /spent
• optionally leave a comment
• finish working:
  • push
  • deploy
  • label doing > dome
  • execute /spent
• since you require "push as often as possible", i'd recommend to attach this autopush to pause action as well
  • Default push comment will be '#123 autocommit'
  • but editable with
  • fgi pause -m 'done for today'
  • which produces '#123 done for today'
  • after that fgm automatically switch to default branch, so, to continue working, you will not forget to type fgm start
  • it should remember last active issue and treat it as default
  • this way i can painlessly switch between issues by fgm start 111
  • if there's already active issue in progress and i type fgm start 111 it checks if current issue is 111; if it's not, then it should ask me do i want to pause, finish, or cancel [P/f/c]. so i can just hit enter to pause previous issue
  • some companies required to squash commits into one before merge request, so code review will process faster - can also be done automatically on finish
