Can I convert my TODO to a git bug?

I am new to Git and did not find any reference for such a question. One un-answered post here at StackOverflow is Similar Post, also I found this Possible similar problem but I did not find an answer there as well..

I have some //TODO <need to remember this> remarks in my java program and I would have loved to convert them into a bug/task/issue using github/bitbucket.

Is that possible?

Thanks in advance

Solution

  • You can easily extract all your //TODOs with grep:

    grep TODO -rnf * > TODOs.txt

    Then it should be possible to write a small script that reads this TODOs.txt file and makes use of Github's api to create new issues:

    POST /repos/:owner/:repo/issues

{
  "title": "Found a bug",
  "body": "I'm having a problem with this.",
  "assignee": "octocat",
  "milestone": 1,
  "labels": [
    "Label1",
    "Label2"
  ]
}

    But this is left as an exercise ;)
