A git-backed and YAML-based distributed issue tracker.

• Code and documentation are in the git repo and so should your issues
• You shouldn't have to leave your programming environment to manage issues
• You should be able to view and edit issues offline

npm install -g gitis

Issues are stored as YAML files inside an issues/ directory at the root of your project. The filename is used as the issue's timestamp/id (e.g. 2016-05-31T0759.yaml).

List issues in the current directory:

gitis

List issues in a specific project directory:

gitis path/to/project

Examples:

gitis --state closed
gitis --sortOrder descending

Defaults can be set per-project via a .gitisrc file (JSON) in the project root, or via environment variables.
