git-dit - the distributed issue tracker for git

WARNING: This is pre-1.0! Expect bugs and incompatibilities!

However, we try to avoid breaking changes.

git-dit features

• Distributed issue tracking, without checking files into the repository
• Convenient commandline interface (plumbing + porcelain)
• Implemented as

  git

  subcommand:

  git dit

• Each command has a

  --help

• No structured data
  • An issue/comment is a commit
  • "Tags" are supported (see

    man git-interpret-trailers

    )
• Convenience

  git dit push

  and

  git dit pull

• No additional software needed on the server-side.

When playing with this, please keep in mind that this is alpha quality - there are bugs, missing things and rough edges.
