03/03/2023, 10:39 PMHi everyone, I wanted to share with you my new tool, linear-cli. It's designed to help me quickly create a GitHub branch by pulling the issue name from Linear, a product management app similar to Jira. I used pants fmt, lint, mypy and pex to execute the code. If you're interested in checking it out, you can find it here: https://github.com/szto/linear-cli One issue I encountered was with executing pex globally. The current method I used felt a bit clunky. If anyone has any suggestions for a better way to execute pex globally, I would greatly appreciate your input. Thanks!
