Is there a way to unwrap issues created via EDITOR?

[jerluc]

When using the gh issue create command in combination with your $EDITOR of choice, is there any way to allow the created Github issue to flow naturally without the line wrap?

I understand that everyone's $EDITOR likely has its own settings in terms of line width (72, 80, etc.), but I'm wondering if there's some available option in the Github CLI to either: 1) help my $EDITOR understand that it shouldn't wrap lines, or 2) strip extraneous newlines when detected.

Right now there is no such functionality, but I would definitely be interested in exploring some unwrapping features.

For example, it's encouraged to wrap git commit messages, but when a commit message gets used for PR body in gh pr create, the resulting markdown is hard-wrapped because GitHub-flavored-markdown preserves hard breaks. If we were to automatically unwrap that contents, the resulting PRs would look much nicer.

We would have to take care to only unwrap prose and not lines of code, however. I'm not sure how we would detect that!
