puppetlabs code repositories and issues integration

[Shantanu]

I was wondering if it's possible to cross-reference a puppetlabs module code on github while creating an issue or discussion on puppetlabs projects site. It would be helpful if users could cross-reference code on the project site or puppetlabs github repositories have issues enabled.

Thanks,

Shantanu

Hi Shantanu,

I don't quite understand what you're asking for. Could you elaborate?
It sounds like you're looking for more than just pasting a URL into
the branch field of a ticket on our projects site.

I have been toying with the idea of enabling GitHub issues for some of
the Puppet Labs modules. Which module were you working on and what
would GitHub issues help you do better?

Cheers!

Thanks for the reply Ryan. 

I am looking for an option that will help discuss code changes effectively by referencing a code snippet or a commit specific file revision in project issues. For example, here is an issue opened in my forked puppetlabs-apache repository. Likewise, if someone wants to get feedback on proposed code changes, then it's helpful to put code snippets or commit ids within the issue discussion rather than pointing them to an external URL. Also, the github markup makes it easier to reference commit IDs and users. 

In addition, I think github issues will help in making issue assignment better as user accounts on both systems - issues and code repository - will be the same. I think this can be done by using github credentials on the project site as well.

Also, +1 for new updates to the forge site!
