Issue body in Markdown.

Issue number is derived from the filename, not stored in frontmatter.

Temporary Issues

New issues get a T-prefixed ID (e.g., T1a2b3c). The filename must start with T:

.issues/open/T1a2b3c-my-new-issue.md

On push, the file is renamed to the real issue number (e.g., 42-my-new-issue.md) and number: in frontmatter is updated. Any #T1a2b3c references in other issues are also updated to #42.

Comments

To post a comment when pushing, create a .comment.md file next to the issue:

.issues/open/42.comment.md
.issues/open/42-fix-login-bug.comment.md

Content is plain Markdown. The file is deleted after the comment is posted.

Notes

  • Pull skips conflicts; use --force to overwrite local
