I made an integration to use Codecks as the issue tracker in PlasticSCM. It lets you create a new branch by selecting from a list of assigned tasks (Codecks cards), sets the name based on some prefix convention, copies the card title to the branch description and sets its status to “started” in Codecks. Just a quality of life thing to save a few keystrokes, but really useful if you work with Codecks, Plastic and feature branches 8 hours a day like I do.
Codecks is already growing its community, but more people should be made aware of it. Also, I believe that the integration is a really nice example of how to extend Plastic with custom tools. It could serve as a reminder and real-world example how users can implement plugins in general.
By the way, I just published v1.3. The extension is now more resilient against errors and the code is factored in a way I’m happy to keep maintaining it.
