I just wanted to say thanks for all the comments and discussion. It’s been amazing (and honestly a bit surprising) to see so many developers checking it out.
The idea for gibr came from the frustration I had when I was forced to use Jira for issue tracking and GitLab for our repos. At the time, I built an internal tool called jig that integrated the two. With a single command, it could create a branch, push it, transition the Jira issue to In Progress, and open a merge request with everything pre-filled — assignee, reviewers, description, and so on. It became really popular at my company.
I decided to take that idea further and rebuild it as an open-source tool with a plugin architecture, so it could work with any issue tracker or Git provider, not just Jira and GitLab.
If anyone has feedback or ideas for new integrations, I’d love to hear them — some great suggestions have already come in that might make it into the next release.
Thanks again for the support — this community is awesome.
