git-bug

Bugtracker embedded in Git

Would it be nice to not have to rely on a web service somewhere to deal with bugs ?

Would it be nice to be able to browse and edit bug report offline ?

git-bug is a bugtracker embedded in git. It use git's internal storage so no files are added in your project.

As you would do with commits and branches, you can push your bugs to the same git remote your are already using to collaborate with other peoples.

🚧 This is for now a proof of concept. Expect dragons and unfinished business. 🚧

Install

go get github.com/MichaelMure/git-bug

If it's not done already, add golang binary directory in your PATH:

export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin:$GOPATH/bin

That's all ! In the future, pre-compiled binary will be provided for convenience.

CLI usage

Create a new bug:

git bug new

Your favorite editor will open to write a title and a message.

You can push your new entry to a remote:

git bug push [<remote>]

And pull for updates:

git bug pull [<remote>]

List existing bugs:

git bug ls

You can now use commands like show, comment, open or close to display and modify bugs. For more details about each command, you can run git bug <command> --help or read the command's documentation.

Interactive terminal UI

An interactive (WIP) terminal UI is available using the command git bug termui to browse and edit bugs.

// TODO: replace with less test data ;-)

Web UI

You can launch a rich Web UI (terribly WIP) with git bug webui.

This web UI is entirely packed inside the same go binary and serve static content through a localhost http server.

The web UI interact with the backend through a GraphQL API. The schema is available here.
