Ask HN: Good online issue tracker with CLI

8 points by TokenDiversity 9y ago ↗ HN

HN, is there an online issue tracker with a good CLI around the issue API? I've been using bugs-everywhere for my own repos but I'm not very satisfied with it, I can't place a finger on why. I want to be able to create/list/tag/delete issues from the command line. I know both bitbucket and gitlab offer APIs but I wonder if they have a nice usable wrapper around it?

Not what you're asking but something similar to BE: https://github.com/travisb-ca/nitpick

Also, your be usage experience may depend on how you're using it. In-branch/separate-branch/without-vcs? As a single user, I use it outside vcs and am reasonably happy with it.

That probably may have been it. I was using it inside a separate branch but didn't like the workflow where i'd commit after every change. I don't want to commit unless I'm trying to make a backup.

I'm going to go the off-repo route now.

We don't maintain our own, but there are a number of GitLab API CLI tools and wrappers. Have a look here: https://about.gitlab.com/applications/#cli-clients

Taiga has a pretty nice looking command line client for their issue tracking https://github.com/taigaio/taiga-ncurses
