ZenHub Epic Dependencies

Who's Zed?

zed is a tool go generate a dependency graph for zenhub epics.

zed uses github and zenhub apis to generate a dependency graph
        for a selected epic in a 'mermaid' md-like format.

Usage:
  zed [flags]

Flags:
  -e, --epic int          ID of an epic (required)
  -g, --github string     GitHub token (requried)
  -h, --help              help for zed
  -o, --owner string      owner of repo, must be provided if repo is referenced by name
  -r, --repo int          ID of repo (alternative '--repoName' and '--owner')
  -n, --repoName string   name of repo, requires owner to be defined (aletrnative '--repo')
  -t, --timeout int       client timeout (default 10)
  -z, --zenhub string     ZenHub token (required)

The output is mermaid markdown text which can be rendered to a flowchart of dependencies in the epic. Each node has a link on a relevant github issue. It also contains some information about the issue.

---

Note there are no limitations on usage of github or zenhub API in place in zed. If the epic you access has hundreds of issues - hundreds of request will be made.

Build & run

git clone git@github.com:seriar-org/zed.git
cd zed
go build
./zed -z <ZENHUB_TOKEN> -g <GITHUB_TOKEN> -r <RepoID> -e <EpicID> > graph.md

You can then render results from graph.md in some available online tools:

• https://mermaid.live/
• https://mermaid-js.github.io/mermaid-live-editor

Tips

Getting github token:

github token can be created at https://github.com/settings/tokens

A token for zed needs repo scope

Getting zenhub token

zenhub token can be created at https://app.zenhub.com/settings/tokens

Note, that only one token is supported at the time, and there are no scope limitations

Security

Remember to be cautious not to share your tokens, as they provide read/write access to at least some parts of your infrastructure

RepoID

RepositoryID can be found in zenhub board's url
