Github Issue Templates
At livingdocs we're actively using github for all our projects. One missing feature we want in github is to be able to chose from a list of issue templates.
This code is a first try to improve the current behavior. In this codebase you can find a CLI which is able to extract templates from one file and offers a simple templating setup for the README to render them in a list.
There's also a chrome extension in here that benefits of the same code to render a template chooser on the github issue page.
Example
Create a new issue from one of those templates:
Those links/templates are generated out of the templates file in .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATES.md
You can use the chrome extension to automatically load that file and render dropdown on the github issue page.
Example of the chrome extension:
Usage
Create the file .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATES.md.
Check the content in [github-issues-templates/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATES])(./.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATES.md) for an example config.
# Run $ npm install github-issue-templates -g$ github-issue-templates # the previous command has those defaults $ github-issue-templates --source ./README.tpl.md --destination ./README.md # the help lists all options $ github-issue-templates --help
