This is something I threw together that I&#x27;ve been finding pretty useful in the last couple days, and I figure other people might be interested in trying out.  It&#x27;s a tool to treat an &quot;issues&#x2F;&quot; directory on the filesystem as an issue tracker, which can be tracked via git (or any other source control) and viewed&#x2F;edited from the command line with the &quot;bug&quot; tool.<p>I&#x27;ve been using it as a lightweight &quot;What do I have left to do on this branch?&quot; tool that fits into my workflow without having to go to an external service (ie. Redmine) or leave the terminal.  The fact that it&#x27;s context sensitive (it just looks for the nearest issues&#x2F; directory) means I can just do a &quot;bug list&quot; to get an instant list of outstanding tasks in whatever I happen to be working on whenever I switch branches or get interupted and need to remember where I was.<p>(I wanted to call it &quot;context-sensitive,&quot; which is more accurate, in the title, but HN said the title was too long, so it became &quot;distributed,&quot; since anything in git is &quot;distributed&quot;.)
