About

This small python script allows to create issue in GitHub for given project.

Why?

• PyGithub is sometimes an overkill
• Jenkins Github Issues plugin is not fully mature yet (not to mention it's groovy specific)
• other packages - forcing yourself to install ruby or nodejs is .... eh.
• bash - yeah I could make a curl with some input file but integration might be more problematic in certain areas.

Based on https://gist.github.com/JeffPaine/3145490 with tweaks.

Requrements

Standard python-2.7 provided with any decent Linux distribution should be sufficient, using standard packages.

You need to create GitHub API token to send issues - see here how.

Usage:

Make file executable and see help:

chmod +x github_create_issue.py
./github_create_issue.py -h

Example

First, export env vars:

export GITHUB_USER=nvtkaszpir
export GITHUB_PASS=<token>
export REPO_OWNER=nvtkaszpir
export REPO_NAME=vagrant-killingfloorstats

Create example issue with title, body and apply two labels:

./github_create_issue.py --title="Test" --body="Hello And Die" -l bug -l jenkins
