Add epics and add issues to epics from Github #304

Open ac21 opened 5 years ago

ac21 commented 5 years ago

Background

Some users prefer to interact with Codetree primarily through the GitHub issues interface. However, you can not create epics or add issues to epics from GitHub at this time

Solution

Detect when a user adds the label codetree-epic to an issue and recognize that as an epic going forward
detect when a comment or description entry of an epic includes the phrase epic_child #(/d) and add the referenced issue to the epic
detect when a comment or description entry of an issue includes the phrase epic #(/d) and add the issue to the referenced epic

Hey @tomasyany - Thanks for reaching out. This is still in our backlog. Is this a high priority for your team? would you say that most of your team works from within Github directly?

tomasyany commented 4 years ago

Hi @ac21! Most of my team works on Github directly indeed, when it comes to defining issues, adding tags, etc.

Nevertheless, I don't think that "adding Epics from Github" is really the feature we need here, but rather "converting existing issues into Epics", something you can't do from Github nor Codetree. This feature could be really useful because it would allow not to lose all the discussion thread that already existed in the issue.

The solution proposed by the OP would kill two birds with one stone: adding epics from Github and converting existing issues into Epics.

But how? 🤔

@Drjacky what part isn't clear? The "solution" (as in this issue description), seems to be a good answer to the "how" I believe...

Is there any update on this issue?

It would be really helpful if we could just add a label to an epic, or a comment on the issue, or some tag on the description, that would make that issue part of an epic directly.

It looks like adding the codetree-epic label works to convert an issue to an epic from the GH UI.

mikebessuille commented 2 years ago

Yes, adding codetree-epic in GH seems to force Codetree to treat the issue as an epic. However, removing the codetree-epic label does not seem to convert the epic back to an issue! Once it becomes an epic, I don't see any way of making it an issue again.
