🖥️ Managing issues, PRs, and rebasing using only CLI (git + gh)

0. 🔧 Prerequisites

• Navigate to your repository in terminal.
• Ensure git and GitHub CLI (gh) are installed on your system.

1. 🎫 Create an issue

gh issue create

This outputs the issue URL (https://github.com/owner/repo/issues/6) that contains the ISSUE_NUMBER (here 6).

Or to list all issues and find an existing issue number :

gh issue list

2. 🌿 Create a branch for the issue

gh issue develop ISSUE_NUMBER

3. 🔀 Switch to the new local branch

Use tab autocompletion to find the branch name :

git checkout ISSUE_NUMBER<TAB><TAB>

4. 💻 Develop the feature in local

git add .
git commit -m "DESCRIPTION"
git push

(🔄 Repeat as needed)

5. 📤 Open a PR linked to the issue

gh pr create 

The PR is automatically linked to the issue of the development branch.

6. 🔄 Rebase and merge the PR into main

gh pr merge

Select : Rebase and merge. (Optional : 💾 Keep the branch if you want to)

The merge will automatically close the issue automatically after submit.

7. 🔼 Update local main

git checkout main
git pull

🎉 And that's it! You've completed the full GitHub workflow without leaving your terminal! 🚀

Now, go install NixOS and be a great developer 😉
