sit

SIT - stands for the Simplest Issue Tracker

Proof of Concept!

Main ideas

• Be able to keep tickets / issues together with the code, not somewhere else
• Being distributed(as git)
• Full integration with git
• Open standards / data governance (needs explanation)
• Allow non-cli users as well
• SIMPLICITY

HOWTOs

Install

You need Golang to install it from source.

make install

Usage

To edit tickets the app uses $EDITOR if you have it set, otherwise vim is used by default.

# initialize
sit init

# create issue
sit create

# list issues in this repo
sit list

# edit issue, accepts parts of the id
sit edit <partial-issue-id>

# delete issue
sit delete <partial-issue-id>

# show help
sit help

Collaborate

Sit repo is just a folder with plain text files. It can be a part of any code repo including standalone repos using any scm, e.g. git. The current view is that git / git workflow can cover the majority of collaboration use cases, like sharing, having a central repo for all issues, etc. In future tighter integrations with git could be added along with more tooling.

Issues

issues.md

Known (serious) questions

1. How to make it user friendly?
2. Short and easily usable / memorizable issue IDs
3. Authentication / authorisation(the current idea is to rely on git signed commits)
4. Workspaces / different projects
   1. How this will work together?
   2. What should be the data model?
5. How different teams could be accounted here?
