Simple utility to extract issues and pull requests from a GitHub repo in a single .json file, that can be passed to Large Language Models (LLMs).
Caution
Always pay attention to avoid passing confidential information to a cloud-hosted LLMs.
To run the command, make sure that you have pixi installed and then just clone the repo and run:
git clone https://github.com/ami-iit/github-issues-context-extractor
cd github-issues-context-extractor
pixi run github-issues-context-extractorYou can also run the github-issues-context-extractor command without pixi run before by running pixi shell:
pixi shell
github-issues-context-extractorOtherwise, just install it from source using pip or uv, in that case there is no need to have pixi installed, and then run the utility as github-issues-context-extractor.
Note
To run the github-issues-context-extractor you need a GitHub Token. If you log in GitHub via the gh auth utility, the correct token will be automatically used, otherwise you can export the token you want to use via the GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable.
To download all the issues of the repo ami-iit/github-issues-context-extractor in a file this_repo_issues.json, run:
pixi run github-issues-context-extractor --repo ami-iit/github-issues-context-extractor --output_file this_repo_issues.jsonYou can also pass a query to filter the issues, for example to get all the issues and prs created in October 2024:
pixi run github-issues-context-extractor --repo ami-iit/github-issues-context-extractor --query "created:>2024-09-01 created:<2024-10-31" --output_file this_repo_issues.jsonThe commands allowed in the query are the one that GitHub allows in its search, check the docs at https://docs.github.com/en/issues/tracking-your-work-with-issues/using-issues/filtering-and-searching-issues-and-pull-requests for more details.
