ghiqc (GitHub Issues Quality Checker)

Command-line tool for checking quality of bug reports in GitHub Issues, with a help of LLM.

Motivation. The quality of bug reports is paramount for the overall quality of a software project: poorly formulated bug reports often lead to wasted time, programmers frustration, and delays. This repository is a command-line tool that would scan given issue for quality problems in its formulations, generate recommendation, and report to the bug report author asking to fix the report.

How to use?

First, install it from crate:

cargo install ghiqc

or with homebrew (macOS):

brew install ghiqc

Then, run it:

ghiqc --repo h1alexbel/fakehub --issue 1

CLI Options

You can use the following options within ghiqc command-line tool:

There are two more arguments ghiqc will look for: GITHUB_TOKEN and DEEPINFRA_TOKEN (you can obtain it here). They should be located in your environment variables. Export them like that:

export GITHUB_TOKEN=...
export DEEPINFRA_TOKEN=...

Ignore issues from checking

You can prevent ghiqc from running checks on the issue. In order to do that, include special file ignore.ghiqc in the root of your repo. In this file you can specify a list of rules - what kind of issues to ignore:

author:jeff
label:enhancement
title:new feature request
title:!*something

We support the following issue scope dimensions: author, label, and title. Supported syntax features:

• assignment: author:jeff
• exclusion: label:!bug
• multiple values with author and label: author:[jeff,foo,max], label:[enhancement]
• multiple values to exclude with author and label: author:![jeff,foo], labelL:![bug,question]
• "starts with" with title: title:*this is feature request:
• "starts with" exclusion with title: title:!*BUG:, thus it will skip everything that not starts with BUG:.
