git-bug

Build Status Backers on Open Collective Sponsors on Open Collective License: GPL v3 GoDoc Go Report Card Gitter chat

git-bug is a bug tracker that:

  • is fully embeded in git: you only need your git repository to have a bug tracker
  • is distributed: use your normal git remote to collaborate, push and pull your bugs!
  • works offline: in a plane or under the sea? Keep reading and writing bugs!
  • prevents vendor lock-in: your usual service is down or went bad? You already have a full backup.
  • is fast: listing bugs or opening them is a matter of milliseconds
  • doesn't pollute your project: no files are added in your project
  • integrates with your tooling: use the UI you like (CLI, terminal, web) or integrate with your existing tools through the CLI or the GraphQL API
  • bridges to other bug trackers: use bridges to import and export to other trackers.

🚧 This is now more than a proof of concept, but still not fully stable. Expect dragons and unfinished business. 🚧

Installation

Pre-compiled binaries
  1. Go to the release page and download the appropriate binary for your system.
  2. Copy the binary anywhere in your $PATH
  3. Rename the binary to git-bug (or git-bug.exe on windows)

That's all !

Linux packages
Compile from git (unstable)
git clone git@github.com:MichaelMure/git-bug.git
make install

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

export PATH=$PATH:$(go env GOROOT)/bin:$(go env GOPATH)/bin

CLI usage

Create a new identity:

git bug user create

Create a new bug:

git bug add

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

Filter and sort bugs using a query:

git bug ls "status:open sort:edit"

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 terminal UI is available using the command git bug termui to browse and edit bugs.

Termui recording

Web UI (status: WIP)

You can launch a rich Web UI with git bug webui.

Web UI screenshot 2

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.

Or manually:

git bug bridge configure \
    --name=<bridge> \
    --target=github \
    --url=https://github.com/MichaelMure/git-bug \
    --login=<login>
    --token=<token>

Import bugs:

git bug bridge pull [<name>]

Export modifications:

git bug bridge push [<name>]

Deleting a bridge:

git bug bridge rm [<name>]

Misc

Planned features

  • media embedding
  • more bridges
  • extendable data model to support arbitrary bug tracker
  • inflatable raptor

Contribute

PRs accepted. Drop by the Gitter lobby for a chat or browse the issues to see what is worked on or discussed.

git clone git@github.com:MichaelMure/git-bug.git

You can now run make to build the project, or make install to install the binary in $GOPATH/bin/.
