GitIssius

About

GitIssius is an issue tracker intergrated in your git repository. In other words a distributed bug tracker.

Why bother?

Your code lives in your git repo. Your documentation lives in your git repo. Why aren’t your bugs in your git repo?

Git provides a really great version control system. Unlike other systems though it does not provide any functionality related to issue / bug tracking. You have to rely on 3rd party systems like Bugzilla or GitHub issue tracker to track your bugs.

This is fundamentally wrong!

  • Because you quit your programming enviroment to visit webpages to add / view bugs.
  • Because the bugs are not stored in the same place as your code and / or documentation.
  • Because you cannot edit / view your bugs offline.

GitIssius comes in action

GitIssius stores your bugs in the same repo where your code lives. It creates another branch named ‘gitissius’ which you don’t have to checkout ever. Provides a git command named ‘issius’ to control you issues.

It was inspired by other distributed bug tracking systems like Fossil, BugsEverywhere and Ditz. Started as a fork of git-issues but then realized that I wanted a completelly different code base, so I wrote most things from scratch.

Tips and tricks

  • Use ‘TAB’ for completion in fields.
  • Install ‘colorama’ package for colors
  • Sorting and Filtering actions can refer to the following fields: assigned_to, created_on, updated_to, reported_from, status, id, title
  • Filtering supports ‘__not’, ‘__exact’ and ‘__startswith’ on text properties.
