GitHub Issues Usage Notes (Contributors)

Guidance for using GitHub Issues with this project on Windows/Git Bash.

Tooling

  • Use GitHub CLI (gh). Authenticate with gh auth login.
  • Ensure repo remote is ChrisTutorials/grid_building_dev.

Pitfalls

  • Missing labels: create or use existing ones (maintainer-only).
  • Auth/permissions: re-auth if actions fail.
  • Avoid jq-dependent pipelines unless installed.

CLI Examples

  • View: gh issue view <number> -R ChrisTutorials/grid_building_dev
  • Close: gh issue close <number> -R ChrisTutorials/grid_building_dev -c "Reason"
  • Create: gh issue create -R ChrisTutorials/grid_building_dev --title "..." --body "..." --label bug
  • Create label (maintainers): gh label create "preview" --color BFD4F2 -R ChrisTutorials/grid_building_dev
