Add a link to the issue when creating a pull request

[josep-llodra]

Hello Rob,

For us is a bit inconvenient that we cannot go easily from a PR to the Issue whose branch originated this PR.

Maybe the create-issue-branch action could add a comment to the PR when it is created (if cib can detect that there is a linked issue, parsing the branch name, as it does now I guess), the comment could be something like:

Pull request linked with Issue #123 (and #123 being an hyperlink to the issue itself)

Do you think this is feasible?

PS: We have seen that using the build-it github create branch method, the PR is linked with the issue and there is a link. But not using cib.

Hi @josep-llodra

My time is currently limited to look into this but CIB should put a closes #123 comment in the PR. I've just verified that in this repo (using the App, not the Action). For this to work the issue-branch.yml configuration file only needs to contain openPR: true

AFAIK GitHub does not provide an API endpoint to link PRs with Issues explicitly (at least not the last time I looked). Connecting both through comments is the only option for an App/Action.

What version of the action are you using in your workflow? (@main should be fine). Can you also send me your issue-branch.yml content?

Oh, nice!

openPR: true is good enough then. I have tested and it works well.

I have also tested the conventionalPrTitles: true but it seems it does not work well with openPR: true, right? Anyway it's nothing I really need so... no big deal.

Thank you

Hi @josep-llodra

The openPR: true option does open a new PR (or draft PR with openDraftPR: true) every time a branch is created, I'm not sure if that fits your workflow, let me know 🙂

Conventional PR titles is a new feature I'm working on. Based on labels it automatically inserts a conventional commits style prefix in the title of the pull-request. This makes the Git history easier to read and can also be used for semantic versioning.

Let me know if you want to try out this new feature, I'm interested in positive/negative feedback. This feature should work well in combination with the openPR: true option (or any other option).

KR, Rob

Hi Rob,

Yes, this feature is indeed very interesting. I would love to test it, I thought it was already available since it was on the readme file under conventionalPrTitles: true. It seems that you were on the way to launch it. :)
