We're Joao and Tiago, and together we've built Slash Commands for GitHub to control your Issues and Pull Requests through your comments, which is available on GitHub Marketplace as of today [1].
As a bonus, we've also added a few pro features that we think you'll like:
- /giphy - Embed your favorite GIFs in your comments
- /merge-when-checks-green - will merge your Pull Request automatically after all your checks have succeeded
- /copy-metadata - Copies metadata (labels, asignees, etc...) from one Issue to another
Since this was built as a native GitHub app, all commands will work seamlessly with integrations such as the GitHub VSCode extension [2] and their CLI tool [3].
We've had a ton of fun building this project using Elixir and we want to continue improving it every day.
Indeed, I've gone through a similar process and it was really nice for both sides.
Although I believe that this should be done carefully, because when people get close and personal, they tend to "judge" others based on the personality, which is important, but not really what they are doing, instead they should focus on the cultural fit having in account the candidate's personality and other factors.
