Migration

Python version 3 required

git-hub has been ported to Python 3.

As development of Python ended January 1st 2020, the decision was made to drop backwards compatibility.

General migration instructions are given below:

- Check if **Python3** is installed by using `python --version` or check if the `python3` program exists.
- If that's not the case use your package manager to install it. E.g. `apt install python3` for **Debian** based distributions.

Use #-# for comments instead of #

The symbol # at the start of a line is a header tag in Markdown and #-#should be used instead for comments. The syntax of the new comment header does not look aesthetically good and it is not intended for practical use but it will avoid mangling markdown or any other markup language.
If you have any script that creates new issues, PRs or comments then they will need to be updated to the new comment header.

New Features

Allow specifying a command to get the oauthtoken

Sometimes storing OAuth token in plain text is not a great idea, so now the oauthtoken configuration variable can use a shell command to get the token instead. Just prepend a ! and write the command you want to run instead of using the token.

For example:

git config hub.oauthtoken '!password-manager ~/my.db get github-oauth-token'

Support issue and pull request templates

  • The commands git-hub issue new and git-hub pull new add template contents to the issue or pull request message respectively.

Looks for a template file in the root directory of the project, the .github directory and the .git directory until the first template file is found. Then reads the content from the template file found and adds it to the message of the issue or pull request.

The supported file names for issue templates are ISSUE_TEMPLATE and ISSUE_TEMPLATE.md, and for pull request templates are PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE and PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md.

The order for template lookups matters meaning that a template file name without extension is looked up first followed by the template file name with extension .md.

Note that only the content of the first issue or pull request template found is added to the message of the issue or pull request respectively.

Finally the commands git-hub issue new and git-hub pull new also accept --no-template to skip adding the template content to the issue or pull request message respectively.
