In my private hobby project I started creating GitHub issues to break down the project into steps.</p> <p>I don't always stick to building one feature or fix at a time, I pivot and change direction and I think it's bad practice for me so I decided to make something to help.</p> <p>Now there's bash script that returns the issue title of the current issue you are working on if you use branches named issue/7 (or whatever number the issue is).</p> <p>It loads it with the GitHub CLI client <code>gh</code> and caches it in a local JSON file so future requests load quickly (using <code>jq</code>).</p> <p>The purpose is to use it in a bash prompt. I use a modified velvet theme from <a href="https://ohmyposh.dev/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Oh My Posh</a> to put it in mine.</p> <p>If you fancy this as part of your prompt (I put it on it's own line in mine) then I posted a gist with it <a href="https://gist.github.com/GigaFable/69a5d85626fc15c80ca41126b51db55d" rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a>.</p> ohmyposh bash github
