Yes people were looking to use git notes for this but it currently looks hacky - maybe a .issues folder and some cli tooling could help here but I guess getting consecutive IDs could be a pain/cause conflicts. Sub-issues might also be difficult.
- toyg 4y agoDo we really need consecutive numbers? Any short letter-number combo would work fine, which could be done with simple hashes. I reckon git has already all the low-level features it needs to make this work, it just needs a bit of porcelain on top.
- andy_ppp 4y agoI think project managers might freak out at `PROJ-3eff1a` but maybe you work with more technical managers than I do. How do we link to these issues, I suppose you could build a read only ui for them or maybe each issue is a folder with a README.md in it? It’s a lot of work to make something useful at work.
- toyg 4y agoSurely for a manager in tech, it wouldn't be too difficult to use "3eff1a" where they used "#2345". > How do we link to these issues The same way we link to commits today? As in, we don't - not in the tool itself. The critical part is that such managers will want a nice web interface, not a command line tool. That's the porcelain I mentioned.
