About:
GitBug is a distributed, offline-first bug tracker that embeds issues directly within Git repositories. It allows developers to manage tasks without relying on external servers, synchronizing data peer-to-peer. The tool includes bridges to import and export issues from platforms like GitHub and Jira.
Key Features:
  • Distributed and offline-first architecture
  • Embedded in Git repositories
  • Bridges to GitHub, GitLab, and Jira
  • Built-in web UI and CLI
  • Peer-to-peer synchronization
Use Cases:
  • Managing issues in offline or restricted environments
  • Migrating issues between different hosting platforms
  • Distributed team collaboration without a central server
Alternatives:
  • git-issue – Similar git-based tracking, but GitBug offers broader platform bridges and a more mature UI.
  • Jira – Jira is a centralized SaaS, whereas GitBug is distributed and serverless.
