Linear Templater

Create Linear Tickets from TOML files, it currently supports creating 1 parent ticket and unlimited child tickets per TOML.

Install from Crates.io

Install Rust

```bash

Linux and MacOS

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh ```

Install Linear Templater

bash cargo install linear_templater

Usage

You need to have the environment variable LINEAR_TOKEN set. I am currently implementing this way so that a .env file can be used per TOML directory and a person can seamlessly transition between multiple Linear workspaces. You can obtain your linear token from the API section of your account settings.
