gh-start

A quick workflow for starting new stories:

• Automatically generates branch name from story description.
• Creates and checks out the new branch.
• Opens a draft pull request with title based on story description.
• (When given a GitHub issue) assigns user to issue and populates PR title/description.

Extracted from https://github.com/cookpad/cp8_cli to work with the GitHub Cli.
