Brokk 0.11.0 "Workflows": Integrated Issue Tracking & Pull Request Creation

With Brokk 0.11.0, we’re expanding how you interact with your codebase and everything around it. This release brings first-class issue tracking and pull request creation directly into Brokk, rounding out a workspace that already understands your diffs, revisions, and documentation.

Whether you're capturing a bug, resolving it, or merging the fix, Brokk now supports the full arc of your development process from triage to pull request without ever breaking flow.

Issue Tracking Right Where You Work

You can now view, filter, and act on issues directly inside Brokk through the new Issues tab in the Git tool window. Whether you're using GitHub Issues or Jira, Brokk puts your backlog within arm’s reach. Brokk's capture system already allows you to extract structured knowledge from:

• Git diff ranges
• File revisions
• File summaries
• LLM output
• Etc

Now, you can do the same with issues. With a single click, Brokk pulls the full issue thread description, comments, and embedded content into your workspace as a searchable, structured fragment.

That means you can reference an issue in a prompt, include its details in a summary, or tie it directly to a captured diff. Issues become part of your working memory, not just a tab in your browser.

What’s Inside:

• Live Issue Panel: Displays issues for your current repo by default, with support for overrides.
  
  
• Smart Filtering: Quickly find what matters using text search, or toggle by status, author, assignee, and labels.
  
  
• Quick Actions: Copy text, open issues in a browser, or use the new "Capture" feature to bring issues into your Brokk workspace as structured fragments fully searchable and referenceable in prompts.
  
  

Context at Your Fingertips: Select any issue to preview full descriptions, comments, and images instantly.

Connect How You Like:

GitHub Defaults: Automatically fetches issues for your current repository.

Jira Support: Connect using your base URL, API token, and project key. Test and apply with a click.

Overrides: Pull issues from another GitHub repo or a Jira project via simple settings tweaks.

 Create Pull Requests Without Leaving Brokk

Brokk now lets you raise GitHub PRs from any branch, local or remote without touching your browser.

Workflow:

• Open the Log panel, select your branch, and click Create PR.
  
  
• Use the smart dialog to:
  • Set source and target branches
    
  • View commits and file-level diffs
    
  • Auto-generate or edit title & description
    
• Finalize with one click, Brokk opens the new PR in your browser.

Built-in Safeguards:

• Blue Commits Indicator: Highlights unpushed local work.
  
• Sync Warnings: Prevent PR creation if your branch is out of sync.
  
• Auto-generated Markdown: Clean, clear PRs that are easy to review.

Why This Matters

With these updates, Brokk evolves into a truly developer-first workspace not just an assistant, but an environment that moves at the speed of thought. From identifying bugs to capturing decisions to submitting production-ready code, you can now stay in flow from first idea to final merge.
