git-bug is a distributed, offline-first bug and issue tracker that embeds issues, comments, and identities as objects inside a git repository, synced via git push/pull to remotes. It offers CLI, TUI, and web interfaces, plus bridges to synchronize issues with GitHub and GitLab.
Use cases
- track bugs offline in a git repository
- manage issues without a centralized server
- sync GitHub issues into a local repo
- search and list issues fast from the terminal
- collaborate on issues via git push and pull
- keep issue history versioned alongside code
When to choose
- you want issues stored and versioned inside your git repo
- you need to work on issues offline and sync later
- you prefer CLI/TUI workflows over hosted trackers
- you want a decentralized issue tracker with GitHub/GitLab bridges
When to avoid
- your team relies on hosted issue workflows like GitHub Projects
- you need rich dashboards, boards, or heavy integrations
- non-technical contributors must file issues easily
