tickgit is a tool to help you manage latent work in a codebase. Use the tickgit command to view pending tasks, progress reports, completion summaries and historical data (using git history).

It's not meant to replace full-fledged project management tools such as JIRA or Trello. It will, hopefully, be a useful way to augment those tools with project management patterns that coexist with your code. As such, it's primary audience is software engineers.

tickgit will scan a codebase and identify any TODO items in the comments. It will output a report like so:

# tickgit ~/Desktop/facebook/react
...

128 TODOs Found 📝

Check out an example of the TODOs tickgit will surface for the Kubernetes codebase.

• Blame - get a better sense of how old TODOs are, when they were introduced and by whom
• Context - more visibility into the lines of code around a TODO for greater context
• More TODO type phrases to match, such as FIXME, XXX, HACK, or customized alternatives.
• More configurability (e.g. custom ignore paths)
• Markdown parsing
• More thorough historical stats
