SYNOPSIS

git bug command [options]

DESCRIPTION

git-bug is a distributed bug tracker embedded in git. Bugs are stored as git objects, enabling offline bug management, distributed synchronization, and integration with git workflows.
The tool provides full issue tracking including titles, descriptions, comments, labels, and status. Bugs sync with git push/pull, enabling decentralized issue management without relying on external services like GitHub Issues or Jira.
Bugs are stored as git objects and can be managed entirely offline, syncing with collaborators through standard git push and pull operations.
