Issue body in Markdown.
Issue number is derived from the filename, not stored in frontmatter.
Temporary Issues
New issues get a T-prefixed ID (e.g., T1a2b3c). The filename must start with T:
.issues/open/T1a2b3c-my-new-issue.md
On push, the file is renamed to the real issue number (e.g., 42-my-new-issue.md) and number: in frontmatter is updated. Any #T1a2b3c references in other issues are also updated to #42.
Comments
To post a comment when pushing, create a .comment.md file next to the issue:
.issues/open/42.comment.md
.issues/open/42-fix-login-bug.comment.md
Content is plain Markdown. The file is deleted after the comment is posted.
Notes
- Pull skips conflicts; use
--forceto overwrite local
