GitHub Issue Mover

This is a small command-line tool that can move GitHub issues.

It needs a Personal Access Token from GitHub, which can be created here. The token (probably) needs Full control of private repositories (it might be enough with Access public repositories, depending on the repository).

Comments will be copied, but labels, milestones or assignees will not.

Examples

$ github-issue-mover --from=https://github.com/rolfbjarne/testApp/issues/10 --to=rolfbjarne/testApp --token=<TOKEN>

There's also a script whose arguments are slightly faster to type (just pass the source url and the target org/repo combo), and which reads the token from ~/.github-status-pat:

$ ./move-github-issue https://github.com/rolfbjarne/testApp/issues/10 rolfbjarne/testApp
