Krypto

A neat little sidekick python script to create issues on your repo based on comments left in the code on your behalf

Convert todo comments in your code

# TODO[Enhancement]: Make config file
# Sometimes you might wanna have TODOs in your tests.
# Right now krypto will completely ignore any file with the
# substring "test" in the path. I would want to be able to
# configure this behaviour. Perhaps read from pyproject.toml?`

to GitHub issues on the repository you're working on!

Env Variables

For this to work you need to have a github token in your environment variables. To acquire a token navigate to Developer Settings and generate one.

With the token in hand, simply,

export KRYPTO_TOKEN = <token_here>

or

$env:KRYPTO_TOKEN = token_here

If you want the token to persist across sessions you need to add it to your .bashrc or $PROFILE.

Usage

---

Write a TODO

First, create a TODO in the form of a block comment. The TODO must contain a title. Body and labels are optional.

Examples:

• Title only, no body or labels

  # TODO: This is a title

• Title, body, no labels

  # TODO: This is a title
  # This is in the TODO body

• Title, body and labels

  # TODO[Enhancement]: This is a title
  # This is in the TODO body

• Multiple labels

  # TODO[Enhancement, Bug, Documentation]: This is a title

Valid separators include , / # ~ \

To run

Pass the directory to look in for TODOs.

krypto run <path-to-dir>

To perform the collection and parsing of TODOs but not the HTTP request to github, pass the --dry flag to the run command.

krypto run <path-to-dir> --dry

Krypto does not look in tests/ at the moment.

Inputs
