    I tried it with my repo and it is actually really nice. I kind of want to link to this so that anyone wanting to make contributions to my repo can learn about the code structure. M…

    I do not mind the Git CLI, and I just carry around my alises. I also built a tool to make it even more powerful and integrate with issue trackers: https://pypi.org/project/gibr/

    I understand, but that means you need to review the commits and code changes and do not have the context which could be found either in the issue title, description, etc.

    OK, so it is possible that when the gibr pr command gets added that it could be helpful. My thought is for it to automate the creation of the PR and will contain the description wh…

    Interesting idea, however, don't you first need to create the branch before you start committing commits?

    I am not sure how configurable the button in Linear is. Also, gibr allows a user to not need to even leave their terminal to list their issues and create/push the branch. I also ho…

    Interesting. That seems to work if your work is not associated with an issue tracker. Many use issue trackers and like to link each branch or PR/MR to an issue tracker.

    Unfortunately, gibr does not yet support username in the branch name, but I created an issue and hopefully can get it done very soon https://github.com/ytreister/gibr/issues/42

    I don't know why I did not think of that, but I can see how people would assume this nowadays!

    Exactly, people tend to leave messes. It makes it much easier to know what the branch was for and have more piece of mind when you want to delete it.

    I added a new TODO issue so that username can be configured in the branch name. gibr currently does not have support for username. https://github.com/ytreister/gibr/issues/42

    Hey everyone — I’m actually the author of gibr! I just wanted to say thanks for all the comments and discussion. It’s been amazing (and honestly a bit surprising) to see so many de…

    Yes, I agree, and that is why I created this tool

    When you use Gitlab and squash your merge request, a new merge commit with the name of the branch is created, so I found it very helpful in that situation to know the name of the b…

    I used some AI to help me, but I put in a lot of thought to how it is created. I have plans to add many more useful features over time.
