Hey Dev.to Community!
I recently wrapped up a small project that I’m pretty excited about—a browser extension that adds a direct link to the corresponding GitLab branch right within your Linear issues. 🎉
The Backstory
While using Linear and GitLab together, I found it annoying that I couldn’t easily jump to the GitLab branch right after creating an issue. I had to wait until a Merge Request was raised, which felt like an unnecessary step. So, I decided to build a solution!
What It Does
This extension automatically generates the link to the GitLab branch as soon as an issue is created in Linear. Now, instead of manually searching for the branch, you can just click the link that appears on the issue page. Simple, but super effective!
Why I Built It
I built this to make my own workflow smoother, but I figured others might benefit from it too. If you’re working with Linear and GitLab, give it a try and let me know how it works for you.
Check It Out
You can find the project on
GitHub. I’d love to hear your thoughts or any suggestions you might have for improvements!
Thanks for reading, and happy coding! 😊
