Export or Import Issues from GitHub

GitHub CSV Tools now supports exporting issues!

• Choose what columns you want in the exported CSV with --exportAttributes.
• Export all the comments per issue with --exportComments

Importing issues via a CSV is also possible, just pass a CSV file like githubCsvTools myFile.csv.

To get started, just run npm install -g github-csv-tools and then export with the command githubCsvTools.

Enjoy!
