git-bug is a bug tracker that:
- fully embed 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
- prevent vendor locking: 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
- integrate with your tooling: use the UI you like (CLI, terminal, web) or integrate with your existing tools through the CLI or the GraphQL API
- bridge with other bug trackers: bridges exist 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. 🚧
Pre-compiled binaries
- Go to the release page and download the appropriate binary for your system.
- Copy the binary anywhere in your PATH
- Rename the binary to
git-bug(orgit-bug.exeon windows)
That's all !
Linux packages
go get (unstable)
go get -u github.com/MichaelMure/git-bugIf it's not done already, add golang binary directory in your PATH:
export PATH=$PATH:$(go env GOROOT)/bin:$(go env GOPATH)/binCreate 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.
An interactive terminal UI is available using the command git bug termui to browse and edit bugs.
You can launch a rich Web UI 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.

Interested by how it works ? Have a look at the data model and the internal bird-view.
- media embedding
- more bridges
- extendable data model to support arbitrary bug tracker
- inflatable raptor

Developers unfamiliar with Go may try to clone the repository using "git clone". Instead, one should use:
go get -u github.com/MichaelMure/git-bugThe git repository will then be available:
# Note that $GOPATH defaults to $HOME/go
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/MichaelMure/git-bug/You can now run make to build the project, or make install to install the binary in $GOPATH/bin/.
To work on the web UI, have a look at the dedicated Readme.
