Github Issue Tracking

I’ve been using Github for personal and work projects and have come to love it. The only real request I had was issue tracking. Today I opened my newsreader to find they just added this feature. I’m happy they added it, but was hoping for a few more features, such as:

1. Priorities. I don’t like having to reorder for priority.
2. Attachments. My company tends to have lots of design work. I suppose they can potentially commit to git then link to it? Still a bad way of doing it.
3. Assigning Issues. Why can’t Github give you another drop down to select who to assign the issue to based off contributors? Labels is extremely broad and can make it hard to find the “label” you want quickly.

Glad they added it, but I hope they can look into these features so I can drop Lighthouse and BaseCamp.

  • Check out redmine.org - only thing it really hasn't knocked out for me is external-type tasks ( ie: proposal generation, estimations, and hour tracking ), which I've resorted to getcashboard.com for such. As far as every other aspect of project management ( especially with multiple projects and PMs ), RedMine has really taken the cake so far.

    getharvest.com came a close second, but just kinda fell short.

    I believe both solutions can import basecamp data.

    FWIW, the same company that does CashBoard also has a nice decent shopping cart solution.
