git-bug
About git-bug
git-bug is a decentralized issue tracker that integrates directly with git repositories. It stores issues, comments, and related data as git objects rather than files, allowing them to be versioned and synchronized alongside code changes.
The tool is designed for offline-first workflows, enabling users to manage issues without an internet connection and sync changes later. It leverages git's distributed nature to push and pull issues to multiple remotes, similar to how code is shared across repositories.
