Augment GitHub issue IDs.
Obsidian GitHub Issue Augmentation Plugin
A plugin for Obsidian.md that augments GitHub issue IDs with their title.
For instance, the markdown text
- Finished #5432
- Working on #5434
- Next: #5435, backend#5433
renders to:
Each issue title is a link to the GitHub repository.
Configuration
There are two sources for augmenting issue IDs with descriptive issue texts
- GitHub
- a custom list of titles.
GitHub Integration
For fetching information about issue IDs from GitHub, specify the repository owner in the plugin settings. Additionally, a GitHub personal access token (PAT) is required. Generate it and add it in the plugin settings.
It is possible to restrict the relevant repositories in the settings. If not specified, all repositories of the owner are considered.
A default repository can be specified in the settings
to interpret issue IDs without repository name,
e.g. #1234 instead of myrepo#1234.
Custom Issue Title File
Alternatively or additionally, a CSV file can be specified in the settings that provides a mapping issue ID to issue title. It should look like this:
5432,My issue
backend#5433,Issue from another repository
5434,Some bug
5435,Cool feature
The CSV file path specified in the settings must be relative to the vault base directory.
Using both
It's possible to use both, GitHub and a custom list of titles as source for the issue ID augmentation. When for an issue ID there is a title from both sources, the custom list is preferred over the GitHub title.
For plugin developers
Search results and similarity scores are powered by semantic analysis of your plugin's README. If your plugin isn't appearing for searches you'd expect, try updating your README to clearly describe your plugin's purpose, features, and use cases.
