About:
Backlog.md is a command-line tool that parses Markdown files in a Git repository to extract and visualize tasks, issues, and Kanban boards. It integrates directly with your existing Markdown documentation, turning it into a lightweight, version-controlled project management system. Its main value is enabling task tracking and visualization without leaving your codebase or requiring external SaaS tools.
|
Key Features:
- Markdown-native task parsing from checklists and metadata
- Kanban board visualization via CLI or generated HTML
- Git integration for version-controlled project management
- Customizable status workflows and filtering
- Standalone operation with no external dependencies
|
Use Cases:
- Managing project tasks directly within a code repository's documentation
- Visualizing progress on personal or team projects using existing Markdown files
- Creating lightweight, portable project boards for open-source or internal projects
|
Alternatives:
-
Taskell
– Terminal-based Kanban board but uses its own data format, not Markdown files
-
GitHub Projects
– Tightly integrated with GitHub but is a SaaS platform, not Markdown-native or repository-local
