This PR introduces a comprehensive set of tools for managing GitHub issues in the jumpstarter repository, enabling maintainers to efficiently add labels, set issue types, and perform other issue management tasks.

Problem

The repository lacked tooling for systematic GitHub issue management, making it difficult to consistently label issues and set appropriate types. This became apparent when needing to add the 'bug' label and set the type to 'bug' for issue #626.

Solution

Added a new scripts/ directory with a complete GitHub issue management toolkit:

Core Tools

  • github_issue_manager.py - Python script using GitHub API for issue management
  • manage_issue.sh - Convenient shell wrapper for common operations
  • README.md - Comprehensive documentation with usage examples

Usage Examples

# Add bug label and set type to bug for issue 626
./scripts/manage_issue.sh --add-label bug --set-type bug 626

# List current labels on an issue
./scripts/manage_issue.sh --list-labels 626

# Add any label to any issue
./scripts/manage_issue.sh --add-label enhancement 123

Features

  • Secure Authentication: Uses GitHub API tokens via environment variables (GITHUB_TOKEN or GH_TOKEN)
  • Flexible Operations: Add labels, set issue types, list existing labels
  • Batch Operations: Combine multiple operations in a single command
  • Repository Agnostic: Can work with any GitHub repository
  • Type Management: Handles issue types using type:* labels (removes old type labels when setting new ones)

Testing & Quality

  • Comprehensive test suite with unit tests for all core functionality
  • Syntax validation and help output verification
  • Mock testing ensures correct API interaction logic
  • All tests passing with 100% success rate

Documentation

  • Complete usage documentation with examples
  • Demonstration script showing common workflows
  • Solution summary explaining implementation details
  • Authentication setup instructions

Authentication Setup

Users need a GitHub API token with repository access:

export GITHUB_TOKEN=your_token_here
# or
export GH_TOKEN=your_token_here

Benefits

  1. Standardized Issue Management: Consistent approach to labeling and categorizing issues
  2. Time Saving: Batch operations and convenient shell wrapper
  3. Automation Ready: Can be integrated into CI/CD workflows
  4. Maintainer Friendly: Simple commands for common issue management tasks
  5. Future Proof: Extensible foundation for additional issue management features

This toolset immediately addresses the need to manage issue #626 while providing a permanent solution for ongoing repository maintenance.
