Git-bug: Distributed, offline-first bug tracker embedded in Git(github.com)
353 points by alentred 18 days ago | 108 comments
tl;dr: git-bug is a distributed bug tracker that stores issues directly in your Git repository as separate objects (without polluting your project files), letting you push/pull bugs alongside code and work offline. It offers CLI, terminal UI, and web UI interfaces, plus a GraphQL API and bridges to import/export with GitHub, GitLab, Jira, and Launchpad. The on-disk format is formally specified, allowing alternative implementations to read git-bug data directly.
HN Discussion:
  • ↑Author sharing roadmap and engaging with the community about future features
  • •Users pointing out alternative distributed bug/ticket trackers and prior art
  • ↓Practical showstopper bugs and usability issues limit adoption
  • ↑Excitement about ecosystem integration (b4, cgit, kernel.org, Magit)
  • ~Nitpick on the article's framing of git-bug as 'embedded' in Git
