Description
git-bug is a bug tracker that lives inside git. Its bugs are stored in your repository itself, so you only need the git repository to have a bug tracker, and you can share them with the same remote you use for code. The project lists five main properties: it is fully integrated in git, it is distributed so you can push and pull bugs like code, it works offline so you can read and write bugs on a plane, it avoids vendor lock-in because you already have a backup of your bugs in the repository, and it is fast, since listing or opening bugs takes milliseconds. It also does not add files to your project's working tree. You can work with bugs from the command line or an interactive terminal interface, and the README has a section on each. The project is written in Go and is licensed under GPL v3. Its documentation is hosted separately, and the README links to issues, discussions and a Matrix chat. The README also explains installation and the main workflows, and it lists the donors and sponsors. git-bug suits developers who want issue tracking that stays with the code and does not depend on a hosted service.…
