Command to register issue fork remote and checkout branch if MR does not exist.

Finally trying this out :)

I have a habit of making an issue fork and doing work before opening an MR. However, an error pops if the MR doesn't exist:

dogit issue:mr 3230959

It'd be great if it could set everything up even if an MR doesn't exist, yet.

Absolutely, this is a great idea for enhancement.

Theres some blockers though

  • To date the app doesnt mutate/modify any data on d.o. so some extra bits and safety will be needed.
  • Authentication will need to be a thing, inc TFA?
  • Is there a way to do everything we need just by interacting with Gitlab? Can we use Gitlabs access tokens? The UI's are disabled for creating Personal Tokens but we may be able to use them via API only? Needs investigation. Project access tokens are accessible? Usable?

I'm not sure if any of that is necessary?

I don't think the question is to make any changes. Thsi is after clicking the issue fork button, the branch does exist and the drupal.org UI knows it and shows it, it's just not yet an MR.

So IMHO, despite then being slightly incorrectly named, issue:mr could be extended to, if there are no open merge requests, fall back to branches on that issue fork and allow to pick one of those.
