offline-issues


_Get your GitHub Issues offline! In Markdown and HTML._

This is a command line application, using Node.js, that fetches the GitHub Issue/s you specify and writes them to files on your computer in both HTML and markdown formats. This way you can view them without an internet connection.

This will cap issues at the first 250.

To Use

- Have Node.js installed on computer.
- From your command line, install this module npm install -g offline-issues
- Authorize it by running offline-issues and following the commands.

$3

For one issue:

``bash
$ offline-issues USER/REPO#0
`

For all issues:

`bash
$ offline-issues USER/REPO
`

For multiple repositories or issues:

`bash
$ offline-issues USER/REPO USER/REPO#0
`

Example:

`bash
$ offline-issues jlord/offline-issues muan/github-gmail#4
`

The files are written to whichever directory you are currently in. You will see a md and html folder added, each of with contains the issues you requested.

Options

To just generate HTML files from existing offline cache:

`bash
$ offline-issues -h
$ offline-issues --html
`

To skip generating static files for HTML:

`bash
$ offline-issues -S USER/REPO
$ offline-issues --no-static USER/REPO
`

To filter by issue state:

`bash
$ offline-issues -s all USER/REPO
$ offline-issues --state all USER/REPO
`

This option accepts either `open`, `closed` or `all`. (Default: `open`)
Note that the filter won't be applied when issue number is specified, like `muan/github-gmail#4`.

Future times

Currently working at MVP level -- it gives you the issues you specify. But I want to add (or recieve Pull Requests!) to it:

- More command line options like getting 'all' or 'closed' or 'open' or by 'author' or 'mention'.
- Directory/Index of files you have.
- Tests.
- Spin up sever.
- Sync up the issues you currently have at a later date.
