Hub: Markdown Pull Request Templates aren't supported when using `hub pull-request`

Created on 30 Aug 2016 · 4Comments · Source: github/hub

If you have a Markdown version of the pull request template PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md then formatting is lost and you must re-add it manually.

Example of filling out a PR using hub pull-request:

#### Ticket
Ticket value

#### Description
Description value

#### Mentions
Mentions Value

Then what you get on the web after creating the Issue/PR:

Ticket value

Description Value

Mentions Value

Instead of what I would expect

Ticket

Ticket value

Description

Description value

Mentions

Mentions value

Probably because it comments out the titles

% hub --version
git version 2.9.2
hub version 2.3.0-pre3

Yes, this is a known issue due to the fact that our text editor phase treats every line starting with # as a comment, much like authoring git commit messages does.

As a workaround, you could set git config --global core.commentChar %, or to another character which isn't # and which isn't a common character to start a line.
