Generate GitLab project issues and milestones statistics automatically

gitlab-projects-issues

Generate GitLab project issues and milestones statistics automatically

---

Purpose

This tool can automatically generate issues and milestones statistics,
by analyzing project's issues, detecting milestones and assignees.

If issues without time estimations are found, ~? will be shown before time outputs.

Milestone statistics will automatically be injected in the milestone description,
with a markdown table of assignees, timings, progress and issues total.

The following step is required before using the tool:

• The GitLab user tokens must be created with an api scope (a short expiration date is recommended)

---

Outputs

Milestones statistics will automatically be added to each milestone's description.

The following example shows how milestones statistics may look on a project:

Milestone statistics - MILESTONE NAME

Assignees	Issues	Estimated	Spent	Remaining	Progress
Without assignee	10	18d	18d	/	██████████ 100.00%
USER ONE	22	42d	5d	37d	█▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 11.90%
USER TWO	29	50d 2h	20d 6h	29d 4h	████▂▁▁▁▁▁ 41.29%
USER THREE	7	9d 2h	3d 4h	5d 6h	███▅▁▁▁▁▁▁ 37.84%
USER FOUR	6	21d	/	21d	▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 0.00%
Total	74	135d 4h	47d 2h	93d 2h	███▄▁▁▁▁▁▁ 34.87%
