Better issue-creation interface #3
Description
Issuebot currently uses https://github.com/mbland/hubot-slack-github-issues to open an issue when someone reacts to a Slack message with :book:, because it was the existing script that came closest to doing what I wanted. The result, using all default settings, looks like this:
... which looks like this in GitHub:
... which is ugly, doesn't give an informative title, and doesn't preserve the actual contents of the discussion.
A better implementation should:
- Capture text of the message instead of just linking to it, and ideally capture the whole thread instead of just one message (should this be optional or by default?)
- Allow setting an issue title. This probably requires switching away from a reaction trigger to a text trigger.
- Theoretically could add other bells and whistles (Assignments, milestones, labels...), but probably OK to make people open a browser tab for that.
Possible text interface:
issuebot make issue [in <repo>] [from [last message | this thread]] [with title <title>]
