The command "gh issue create --body-file ${filename}" is a command-line command that uses the "gh" command-line tool to create a new issue on a GitHub repository.
Here's the breakdown of the command:
- "gh" is a command-line tool provided by GitHub to interact with GitHub repositories using the command line. It needs to be installed and authenticated with your GitHub account for this command to work.
- "issue" is a subcommand for the "gh" tool that deals with GitHub issues.
- "create" is a subcommand under "issue" that creates a new issue.
- "--body-file" is a flag that specifies that the contents of the issue's body will be provided from a file.
- "${filename}" is a placeholder for the actual filename. You need to replace this placeholder with the name of the file you want to use to set as the body of the issue.
To use this command, you would replace "${filename}" with the actual name of a file containing the issue's body content in Markdown or plain text. The contents of the file will be used as the body of the issue created on the GitHub repository.
Here's an example command with a filename:
gh issue create --body-file issue_template.md
In this example, "issue_template.md" is the file name that contains the issue's body content.
