`git-bug` is a bug tracker that:
- **is fully embedded 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!
- **prevents vendor lock-in**: 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
- **integrates with your tooling**: use the UI you like (CLI, terminal, web) or integrate with your existing tools through the CLI or the GraphQL API
- **bridges to other bug trackers**: use [bridges](#bridges) to import and export to other trackers.
## Help needed!
This project has grown bigger than I can handle by myself, especially with a day job. I'm looking for people to help on or maintain part of it:
- each bridges (go)
- the terminal UI (go)
- the web UI (Typescript/React/GraphQL)
Individually, those pieces are not especially complex but doing everything make it hard for me to focus on the core where things get more complicated. If this is useful for you or you just want to join the fun, maybe consider it?
## Installation
<details><summary>Pre-compiled binaries</summary>
1. Go to the [release page](https://github.com/git-bug/git-bug/releases/latest) and download the appropriate binary for your system.
2. Copy the binary anywhere in your $PATH
3. Rename the binary to `git-bug` (or `git-bug.exe` on windows)
That's all !

## Workflows
There are multiple ways to use `git-bug`:
<details><summary>Native workflow</summary>
<p align="center">
<img src="misc/diagrams/native_workflow.png" alt="Native workflow">
</p>
This is the pure `git-bug` experience. In a similar fashion as with code, use `git bug push` and `git bug pull` to push and pull your bugs between git remotes and collaborate with your teammate.
</details>
<details><summary>Bridge workflow</summary>
<p align="center">
<img src="misc/diagrams/bridge_workflow.png" alt="Bridge workflow">
</p>
As `git-bug` has bridges with other bug-trackers, you can use it as your personal local remote interface. Sync with `git bug bridge pull` and `git bug bridge push`, work from your terminal, integrate into your editor, it's up to you. And it works offline !
</details>
<details><summary>Web UI workflow (WIP)</summary>
<p align="center">
<img src="misc/diagrams/webui-workflow.png" alt="Web UI workflow">
</p>
Often, projects needs to have their bug-tracker public and accept editions from anyone facing a problem. To support this workflow, `git-bug` aims to have the web UI accept external OAuth authentication and act as a public portal. However the web UI is not up to speed for that yet. Contribution are very much welcome!

## CLI usage
Create 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](doc/queries.md):
```
git bug ls "status:open sort:edit"
```
Search for bugs by text content:
```
git bug ls "foo bar" baz
```
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](doc/md/git-bug.md).
## Interactive terminal UI
An interactive terminal UI is available using the command `git bug termui` to browse and edit bugs.
## Web UI
You can launch a rich Web UI with `git bug webui`.
<p align="center">

</p>
<p align="center">
<img src="misc/webui2.png" alt="Web UI screenshot 2" width="880">
</p>
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](api/graphql/schema).

#### Bridge usage
Interactively configure a new github bridge:
```bash
git bug bridge new
```
Or manually:
```bash
git bug bridge new \
--name=<bridge> \
--target=github \
--url=https://github.com/git-bug/git-bug \
--login=<login> \
--token=<token>
```
Import bugs:
```bash
git bug bridge pull [<name>]
```
Export modifications:
```bash
git bug bridge push [<name>]
```
Deleting a bridge:
```bash
git bug bridge rm [<name>]
```
## Internals
Interested in how it works ? Have a look at the [data model](doc/model.md) and the [internal bird-view](doc/architecture.md).
Or maybe you want to [make your own distributed data-structure in git](entity/dag/example_test.go) ?
See also all the [docs](doc).
## Misc
- [Bash, Zsh, fish, powershell completion](misc/completion)
- [ManPages](doc/man)
## Planned features
The [feature matrix](doc/feature_matrix.md) gives a good overview of what is planned, without being exhaustive.
Additional planned feature:
- webUI that can be used as a public portal to accept user's input
- inflatable raptor
## Contribute
PRs accepted. Drop by the [Gitter lobby](https://gitter.im/the-git-bug/Lobby) or the [Matrix room](https://matrix.to/#/#the-git-bug_Lobby:gitter.im) for a chat, look at the [feature matrix](doc/feature_matrix.md) or browse the issues to see what is worked on or discussed.
```shell
git clone git@github.com:git-bug/git-bug.git
```
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.](webui/Readme.md)
Some tests for the CLI use golden files, if the output of CLI commands is
changed, run the following command, then inspect the changed files in
`commands/testdata/...` to make sure the output text is as expected:
```shell
go test ./commands -update
```
