Supercharge Your Development Workflow: Introducing Linear Lab Linker.

As a developer, you’re always on the hunt for tools that streamline your workflow and boost productivity. If you’re using Linear for project management and GitHub or GitLab for version control, you’ve likely encountered a common pain point: the disconnect between your issues and your code branches. Today, I’m excited to introduce a game-changing solution: Linear Lab Linker.

The Challenge: Bridging the Gap Between Issues and Code

Picture this scenario: You’re deep into a project, juggling multiple tasks. You create an issue in Linear, switch to GitHub to make a branch, code away, and then realize you need to manually add the branch link back to Linear. Sound familiar? This constant context-switching not only disrupts your flow but also leaves room for errors and oversight.

Enter Linear Lab Linker: Your Workflow’s New Best Friend

Linear Lab Linker is a browser extension that automatically creates a direct link between your Linear issues and your GitHub or GitLab branches. It’s like having a personal assistant that handles the tedious task of connecting your project management and version control systems.

Key Features That Will Make You Wonder How You Lived Without It

  1. Automatic Branch Linking: As soon as you create an issue in Linear, boom! A link to the corresponding Git branch appears.

  2. Flexible Configuration: Whether your team uses “feature/LIN-123-add-awesome-feature” or “john/LIN-123-awesome-feature” as a branch naming convention, Linear Lab Linker has got you covered.

  3. GitHub and GitLab Support: No matter which Git platform you prefer, this extension plays nice with both.

  4. One-Click Navigation: Jump from issue to code with a single click. It’s that simple.

The Bottom Line: Time Saved, Sanity Preserved

By eliminating the need for manual link creation and reducing context switches, Linear Lab Linker can save you precious minutes on every task. Those minutes add up to hours over a week, and days over a project lifecycle. But it’s not just about time—it’s about maintaining your flow, reducing mental overhead, and fostering better collaboration with your team.

Getting Started: It’s Easier Than You Think

Setting up Linear Lab Linker is a breeze:

  1. Install the extension from your browser’s marketplace.
  2. Click the extension icon and enter your project details.
