Feedback & issues

bctl has built-in commands for reporting bugs and requesting features. Both open a pre-filled GitHub issue in your browser; bctl never holds a GitHub token of its own.

Report a bug

bctl issue bug

This opens the new-issue page on the bctl issue tracker with the bug template selected and an environment block already in the body:

  • bctl version
  • OS and architecture
  • Whether a Britive tenant is configured (the tenant name itself is not included)

You fill in the title and the rest of the details, then click Submit new issue.

Request a feature

bctl issue feature

Same flow, with the feature-request template selected.

What gets filed

Issues land on the public smichalabs/britivectl repository. Both maintainers are auto-assigned and notified.

You do not need any GitHub configuration on your machine. The browser opens to the new-issue form using your existing GitHub session; if you are not logged in to GitHub, the page will prompt you.

If the browser does not open

bctl prints the URL to stdout as a fallback so you can copy it manually:

$ bctl issue bug
Opening browser to file an issue...

If the browser did not open, the URL is:
  https://github.com/smichalabs/britivectl/issues/new?body=...&template=bug.yml

Browse existing issues

open https://github.com/smichalabs/britivectl/issues

Search before filing a new one in case the same problem has already been reported.
