Git-bug embeds a full issue tracker inside your Git repo

You can now track and manage project bugs directly inside Git without adding noise to your source tree.

Git-bug gathered 299 points on Hacker News with an offline-first issue tracker. The tool embeds bug data directly into your Git repository without placing extra files in your project directory.

Why it matters: If your code host goes down or you lose internet on a flight, your full bug tracker keeps working. Because issue updates sync through standard git push and git pull commands, your team gets instant local backups for every issue.

Here's the gist: create a new issue with git bug add and sync changes using git bug push. You can browse issues via CLI, an interactive terminal UI (git bug termui), or a local Web UI (git bug webui). It also includes bridges to import and export issues from GitHub, GitLab, and Jira.

Next time your code host goes offline, your issue tracker won't go down with it.
