Send issue over GitHub

User should type own username and password. GitHub API is used for creating issue. The typical POST request is

curl -X POST -u user:pass -d '{"title":"A new bug","body":"Some error occurs"}' https://api.github.com/repos/owner/repo/issues

Available variables:

• GITHUB_COMBOBOX - text of this module into comboBox.
• ISSUES_URL - issues url, in the most cases do not touch it. Default is https://api.github.com/repos/$OWNER/$PROJECT/issues. Available tags here are $PROJECT, $OWNER.

This module requires QtNetwork module. To disable this module use -DENABLE_GITHUB=0 cmake flag.

Send issue over GitHub using own token

This module requires your access token. Please visit this page and generate a new one. Needed scopes are public_repo (or repo if you will use it for a private repository). Please keep in mind that passing the token in the clear, you may discredit your account. The typical POST request is

curl -X POST -H "Authorization: token token" -d '{"title":"A new bug","body":"Some error occurs"}' https://api.github.com/repos/owner/repo/issues

This module requires QtNetwork module. To enable this module set up your token using -DOWN_GITHUB_TOKEN= cmake flag.

Send issue over GitReport

GitReport is used for creating issue. Please visit this page and set up it for your repository.

Available variables:
