Description

For discussion, let's study possibilities:

  • Closing issue when a TODO is removed or "marked as complete"?
  • Remove TODOs when issue is closed?
  • Do it automatically? At push-time? In a separate command (brew doctor-like)?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study how to implement two way synchronization between GitHub issues and TODO comments in code. Consider using GitHub API to detect issue closure and trigger TODO removal, and vice versa.
