Create git branch from Linear issue

VS Code extension that creates a git branch from a Linear issue you're currently assigned for in the latest cycle.

Once installed, just go to the command menu with:

Cmd + Shift + P

And type "Linear". You'll see a command called "Linear: Create branch" appear.

This extension uses our VS Code Linear API authentication provider that is exposed by the linear-connect extension. Feel free to use that in your own extensions!

Developing & Contributing

After cloning the repo, use yarn to install all the package dependencies.

In VS Code you change the code and run the extension in a separate app window to test with F5 (Run > Start Debugging).

Publishing

To publish a new version of the extension, first install the vsce package, that is used to build VS Code extension packages.

npm i -g vsce

Then make sure to:

1. Update the version in package.json according to semver
2. Add appropriate changes to CHANGELOG.md

Build the new extension package.

vsce package

This produces a new file linear-open-issue-1.0.1.vsix, if your version was set to 1.0.1 in package.json.

You can use this file to release a new version of the extension on the VS Code marketplace.
