GitBug

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

git-bug is a standalone, distributed, and offline-first issue management tool specifically designed to be embedded within a git repository. Unlike traditional bug trackers that rely on central servers, it stores issues, comments, and user data as git objects directly within your project.

The main features of the tool include:

  • Native Git Storage: All issue data is managed directly inside your repository as objects rather than files, which keeps the project versioned and organized without cluttering the working directory.

  • Distributed Architecture: Because it leverages Git’s decentralized nature, you can work offline and sync your changes seamlessly with one or more remotes whenever you are back online.

  • High Performance: The tool is designed to be "lightning fast," allowing users to search and list issues in milliseconds.

  • Third-Party Interoperability: It includes bridges that allow for easy synchronization with popular hosting platforms like GitHub and GitLab.

  • Multiple User Interfaces: Users can interact with the tool through various interfaces depending on their preference, including a Command Line Interface (CLI), a Terminal User Interface (TUI), or a web browser.

  • Easy Integration: The tool requires minimal setup to begin managing issues within an existing repository.

The project is primarily written in Go and is released under the GPL-3.0 license.
