Issuepost For Mac

Issuepost is a lightweight Mac OS X utility that provides a simple solution to posting GitHub issues right from your desktop. The application is designed to eliminate the need to open your browser, browse a repository and to write an issue from there.

By using a simple global hotkey or clicking a menu bar icon, Issuepost opens an elegant window where you can enter the name of the repository, title and issue description in a heartbeat. The default hotkey is CMD + SHIFT + I, but you can change it to any other.

The user interface is highly intuitive and extremely easy to get used to. It displays only the necessary options in the main GUI and puts the additional commands in a drop-down menu. The menu bar icon is also optional, as you can show / hide it from the app’s settings.

Another benefit of using Issuepost is that it automatically recognizes the name of the owner and repository as you type them. Thus, the app provides a handy autocompletion function. What’s more, you can also use an option to refresh your repositories, in case they were changed since the last time you have worked with Issuepost.

Issuepost can also assign milestones and labels automatically. As for the security, the app uses authentication over the OAuth protocol, which might be an advantage to some and a disadvantage to others. However, this implementation was required when the app was developed.

In a nutshell, Issuepost is a beautifully simple app for quick GitHub issue submissions. It is a breeze to use and occupies a small amount of screen and disk space. If you want to enhance your productivity on GitHub, grab this tool and you might love its simplicity.
