Ticgit takes a simplistic approach to issue tracking as Lighthouse has done. You can comment, add tags, manage the state of an issue, save views, and change to whom an issue is assigned. There is still more planned, like keeping track of milestones and syncing the tickets to Lighthouse.

As mentioned, there is a web interface to ticgit; however, it wasn’t my cup of tea. So I have started my own web interface, tiwatchtower It’s still a little rough around the edges, but I would love to hear any thoughts.

Conclusion

So far, I like it and it’s exciting to see how git can be pushed. It’s great for keeping track of things that are on my mind without worrying about having to setup trac or having to use up a Lighthouse project. It’s simple, effective, and worth a look at.

Actually, you hurt the initiative to get an issue addressed when you make those comments. You see, when you star an issue, you receive emails when that issue gets updated or commented upon. So if an issue has 100 or so “+1″ comments, then whoever put a star on that defect is going to get 100 or so emails. After getting 20 inane emails, one might decide to remove the star from the issue, thus lowering it’s rating and hurting the campaign.

So please, if you want to help, just star the issue.
