lnr quick

lnr quick is the shortest path from an idea to a tracked issue. It uses your configured team, labels, estimate, and status, then prints the Linear branch name.

lnr quick "Fix flaky deployment check"

If you omit the title in an interactive terminal, lnr asks for one:

lnr quick

JSON output

Use --json when a script or coding agent needs the complete result:

lnr quick --json "Fix flaky deployment check"

{
  "issueId": "PLT-842",
  "branchName": "plt-842-fix-flaky-deployment-check",
  "title": "Fix flaky deployment check",
  "url": "https://linear.app/example/issue/PLT-842/fix-flaky-deployment-check"
}

Create and check out the branch

lnr quick --checkout "Fix flaky deployment check"
# short form
lnr quick -c "Fix flaky deployment check"

This validates the current Git worktree before creating the issue, then creates and checks out Linear’s suggested branch.

Copy the branch name

lnr quick --copy "Fix flaky deployment check"

Output modes

Mode	Result
Default	Prints the branch name
--json	Prints structured issue data
--copy	Copies the branch name
--checkout, -c	Creates and checks out the branch

--json, --copy, and --checkout are mutually exclusive.

The legacy form lnr --quick "Title" still works, but lnr quick "Title" is preferred.
