I personally hate how all these platforms like GitHub, GitLab, BitBucket, etc slapped a centralized relational database to manage issues, comments, merge requests, etc next to a distributed de-centralized system like Git. I especially hate how they've integrated CI/CD into the Git platforms. I loathe the fact that Microsoft has tied their AI to their Git platform. I want my CI/CD to be agnostic. I want my AI to be ag…

#102I use this to note potential issues in my copy of the Git project. For outright bugs though I report them to the project.
awesome to see a user in the wild! if you weren't aware, you can publish your git-bug issues to the project's issue tracker, assuming that it's on one of the supported bridges today (github, gitlab, jira). the bridges exist within git-bug to support adoption of the tool and interop with existing platforms. `git bug bridge pull` and `git bug bridge push` use the bridge's API, and don't attempt to pull from or push to…

maintainer here - this is great feedback! i recently rewrote the README because i felt like its previous iteration was a bit _too_ dense. i may have gone a bit overboard on moving things :) FWIW, the screenshots you're looking for currently live in: https://github.com/git-bug/git-bug/blob/bd936650ccf44ca33cf9...
This would be amazing as a Magit module for Emacs. I don’t relish the idea of using it in a terminal alongside Emacs while using Git from inside Emacs. Is there a lower-level interface that Magit could provide a porcelain for, maybe?
is a "magit module" roughly synonymous with a vim plugin? if so, then would shelling out to the CLI work?

Thanks. I can’t push it to the issue tracker since they don’t have one. Bug reports go to the mailing list.

All those users are why bug trackers are annoying. I don't care about those fields "those other people" are demanding, why do I need to fill them out. Mean while they don't care about the fields that are critical for me and don't want to fill them out.
There's no I in team... Or to put it another way, those other 'useless' fields that take minutes may save the company hours of time in places that you don't see.
But there's U and I in unity!
/s aside, you have a valid point there: just because "I" find the field useless, it doesn't mean that it isn't out to actual good use downstream.

i have no understanding, beyond that of a lexical nature, what a "magit module" is. i'm a (neo)vim user, and heavy terminal junkie, and if i wanted to build a vim plugin for git-bug, that plugin would likely be shelling out to the command line (as git-bug doesn't expose an independent API today -- it's only started when you start the web ui). is a "magit module" roughly synonymous with a vim plugin? if so, then would…

+1 for this. I love having a self-contained, syncable GitHub-lite. It uses SQLite for the format, too, which makes it easy to discover the internals. It just needs some more 'modern' themes

Plus, the only thing I need to do to transfer it to a new disk or network location is to move the `.fossil` file, since everything is nicely self-contained.

hrm... what's your current workflow like? if there's anything you think git-bug could be doing to make that workflow easier, would you mind hopping in our matrix channel [1], or opening an issue [2]? [1]: https://matrix.to/#/#git-bug:matrix.org [2]: https://github.com/git-bug/git-bug/issues
All I would like as a nice-to-have is support for making those issue keys that I use automatic. For me it’s all local to me so it doesn’t need to be globally unique. But those N-letter prefix does make collision less likely on a single project. I’ve mentioned it here: https://github.com/git-bug/git-bug/issues/75#issuecomment-19...

Every job has a part people don't like that's necessary. The company you work for pays you money to fill the fields out, you fill them out, you get paid.
