A Subissue Extension for gh

This gh extension lets you assign one Github issue as a sub-issue of another:

gh subissue 123 245

Will make the issue 245 of the current Github repository a sub-issue of issue 123.

Install

gh extension install jacobo-doist/gh-subissue

Passing issues

Issues can be passed as URLs or as issue numbers. When both the parent and the child issue are passed as numbers, the repository will be inferred from the current working directory, but it can also be explicitly givven with the --repo flag.

Replaing an existing parent issue

If a child issue is already a sub-issue of another parent, you can use the --force flag to move it to a new parent:

gh subissue --force 456 245

This will remove issue 245 from its current parent and make it a sub-issue of issue 456.
