Oh wow this is great. I’ve been wanting an org mode integration with GitHub for a while, and this tool might make it easy enough for me to hack together this weekend.

Basically I want to be able to pull up a buffer with a list of issues assigned to me and copy them into my org mode todo list

You can do this using Forge within Magit already! And it also works for Gitlab: https://magit.vc/manual/forge/

I've been using Emacs for a decade and still have never had to write a single package of my own. Every time I have a good idea, someone else has already implemented it.

Been meaning to try Forge, thanks for the reminder. Honestly, Magit alone is enough reason to use Emacs. Projectile is a close second for me.

Now this is awesome.

Forge is great. Magit is such an enjoyable plugin already, but integration with PRs and issues takes it to the next level.

Haha of course this already exists! Thanks a lot for the pointer, I will for sure start playing with it this week :)

This is awesome, but with all due respect I also wish git itself was also improved.

Goddamn merge commits, and always have to go googling "oh shit how do I erase the last commit" when I accidentally commit to master. It should at least spit out a warning if you created a branch and then try to commit to master. Git lfs and git-crypt should be a feature of the main product and not plugins. Files over a certain size should be transparently LFSed without some need to "track" them or install a plugin to fetch them. It's too hard to accidentally forget to encrypt something or LFS something. Gitignore is easy to screw up and accidentally commit a sensitive credentials file. And "git rm" also removes the file locally with no recourse -- that should not be the default behavior.

Also, the whole UX around submodules REALLY sucks ... is it git submodule update --recursive --init? git submodule init --update --recursive? git init submodule --recursive? I can't remember for the life of me. Why can't it auto-clone all submodules when you clone the parent repo, seeing as you kind of need them to do anything? The UX is so bad that I often just copy the contents of the repo instead of using submodules.

There are "hooks" in git that can be used to modify its behavior, to e.g. "spit out a warning if you created a branch and then try to commit to master"

This seems to be a good resource https://githooks.com/
