From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Issue Tracking System for Linux (feddit.uk)

Hey gang! Looking for some recommendations on issue tracking software that I can run on Linux. Partly so that I can keep track of my hobby dev projects, partly so that I've got a bit more to talk about in interviews. My current workplace uses Jira, Trello and Asana for various different projects, which, eh, mostly serve their purposes. But I'm not going to be running those at home.

The ArchWiki has Bugzilla, Flyspray, Mantis, Redmine and Trac, for instance. Any of those an improvement over pen and paper? Any of those likely to impress an employer?

Forgejo/Gitea are probably the most common "low-resource" (read: doesn't use a couple of GB RAM, like Gitlab supposedly does) code forges.

Do you want to impress future employers by running an enterprise-grade bugtracker or by showing that you can document your work with meaningful bug reports/etc.?

If it's the first option, consider Gitlab, if it's the second option, what ever you like.

Forgejo + ForgeFed is the perfect solution

Cool, will have a look at those, thanks! More looking to impress with my knowledge of using a variety of bugtrackers; have got plenty of evidence to show that there's a couple I know how to use.

Then use Bugzilla. That will show you are ready to flail yourself for the good of the company /s

Sorry, but i find that platform so painful to use.

On a more serious note, i think some of the "github-style" (Gitlab/Gitea/Forgejo) can migrate between each other.

Check out if that's true and if so, try them all!

Put your FIXME:s in the source code, and use a tool like legume or ditz to manage them. (Here's an LWN "state of affairs" article from 2013 with several).

IMO web based bug trackers are overkill for personal projects. A workflow based ticketing system with an external interface adds a lot of unnecessary overhead unless you want users to be able to submit bugs, and even then, email works pretty well.

Oh, this sounds interesting. I'll have to give this a try.
