    git-bug is a distributed bug tracker embedded in git. It uses git's internal storage so no files are added in your project.

  2. To avoid self-hosting a full-fledged code forge, you might want to simply store issues in the git repo itself. Have you tried using git-bug, git-issue, or some other decentralized bug tracker?

    * github.com/git-bug/git-bug
    * github.com/dspinellis/git-issue

    Last time I tried git-bug I failed to import my issues from GitHub and gave up, but maybe it works now, it seems there is a new & more active maintainer.

  3. 🥳🎉 "Git Bug" is here, folks! Because who doesn't dream of embedding a bug tracker right into their version control system? 🙃 Welcome to the future, where every bug is a feature, and every feature is... just another bug. 🚀🔧

  4. @whynothugo Here's a more hands-on one from the #sourcehut folks: git-send-email.io/

    After hosting my own #GitHub-style forge for many years (used #forgejo last), most of my private projects are now just plain ssh-hosted repos. Managing the ever growing complexity just stopped being worth it for me. #GitBug and #cgit (simple read-only web frontend) is all I need. Accepting patches/issues via mail only is not ideal, but not dealing with low-effort PRs and lazily filed issues is nice too.

  5. I just migrated the 50 odd repos from my #selfhosted #Forgejo instance used for small and personal projects and deleted it (which ran #Gitea and even #Gogs before).

    The dev-ops push has made it too big, slow and difficult to maintain for me (new versions frequently breaking things). 90% of the projects only need issue tracking, pull requests and a wiki anyway.

    I'll now try a barebones ssh-hosted setup with git hooks, #GitBug and #markdown files instead. #minimalism

  6. @toxi How’s #Codeberg handling issues, PR:s and such?

    Ideally any post- #GitHub host would make use of something like #GitBug (github.com/MichaelMure/git-bug) or similar to have the issue data live with the code repositories

    That and/or do a #Fediverse / #IndieWeb approach and have people publish their issues and pull requests on their own sites / instances and then notify the upstream repository about that. See eg: indieweb.org/issue

    Is #Codeberg doing any of that?

  7. git-bug synchronization via pure git commands is reasonable. So the main requirements for git-bug adaptation are now fulfilled.

  8. So, I think the decision was made: I'll first do a test run with git-bug and see if it works. If this is the case, it will be my permanent solution:

  9. @humanetech @alcinnz @amiloradovsky @sir @jordan31 @wolf480pl I had a quick look at git-bug the other week, especially because it has bridges to the popular centralized services, so it could potentially be used for backing them up and gradually moving away from them. And it has an email bridge for the final step! Its own publically-hostable web UI is coming soon (currently the web UI is for local use).

    Unfortunately it doesn't seem *quite* there. I got some duplicates when using the bridge in two clones.

    But it's really early days, R/W to GitLab was only added like last month or so. It's looking like a really cool project already and I'm sure this will be ironed out.

  10. is a -based bug tracker.

    git-bug is a Git extension that allows for a Git repository to have integrated, distributed bug tracking compatible with any Git host. Once a repository is initialized issues can be created through a command line, terminal, or local web interface. git-bug features bridges which can sync from and/or to various bug trackers including and .
