Compile-Time options

Define defaultUser and defaultRepo then you have a custom Bug Report Tool for YOUR project.

Example:

• nim c -d:defaultUser=nim-lang -d:defaultRepo=Nim nimbug.nim

Now it reports Bugs directly to https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues

Privacy

• NimBug does not include any path of your personal folders, and you can see the results on the browser anyway.

• Conflict-less changelog.md generator with configurable categories for Nim, for tiny or massive Git projects.

FAQ

• Why?.

I remember Ubuntu years ago come with a tiny script named ubuntu-bug.

• Why not use --title="foo"?.

The tool is interactive on purpose.

Using all options via arguments will encourage unattended scripts to report bugs.

• Why not use GitHub API?.

Using it from the API offers no benefit over the URL params, but it requires a valid GitHub Token secret and code to store secrets, requires OpenSSL with -d:ssl, configuration for secrets probably, documentation about how to setup the secrets on the app before use, this is what the API takes:

{
  "title": "Found a bug",
  "body": "Can not divide by zero",
  "assignees": [
    "octocat"
  ],
  "labels": [
    "bug"
  ]
}

Literally the same you can pass via URL.

But if you want it via API for some reason, I will accept the Pull Request.
