Ticgit

Ticgit is a distributed issue tracking tool designed to integrate directly with Git repositories. It enables users to manage tickets as metadata within Git, eliminating the need for a separate server or proprietary web application. The system synchronizes issue data using the same protocols as source code, allowing for seamless collaboration without additional infrastructure or downtime.

The tool provides a command-line interface for creating, listing, and closing tickets, with commands such as 'ti new', 'ti list', and 'ti close'. Tickets can be tagged and assigned statuses like open or closed, with open states including new, assigned, in-progress, blocked, and review, and closed states such as resolved, wontfix, duplicate, and invalid. Each ticket is identified by a UUID or a unique prefix, and ambiguous or missing prefixes result in diagnostic messages.

Ticgit supports team workflows by enabling ticket synchronization across repositories with the 'ti sync' command, facilitating distributed collaboration. The platform also offers a stable JSON schema for agent and automation workflows, allowing machine-readable output with commands like 'ti show --json' and 'ti list --json'. This makes it suitable for integration with other tools or for automated processing of issue data. JSON output is designed for machine parsing, with diagnostics sent to standard error and non-zero exit codes on failure.

The tool is available as a binary for macOS, Linux, and Windows platforms, and can be installed via a shell script or with Cargo. Ticgit is distributed under the MIT license. It is positioned as a solution for agents and humans seeking localized, version-controlled issue management directly within their existing Git workflows.
