ticket

ticket is a lightweight, git-native ticket management tool implemented as a single Bash script that brings powerful issue tracking directly into your Git workflows without requiring a database or complex setup. It stores each ticket as a Markdown file with YAML frontmatter, making them human-readable and easy to version control alongside your code, while also allowing IDEs to jump straight to ticket definitions. The CLI provides common subcommands to create, list, edit, close, and manage dependencies between tickets, enabling clear hierarchical task structures and visual dependency trees. Its design is rooted in the Unix philosophy of simplicity, composability, and transparency, meaning it integrates well with other standard tools like grep, jq, and ripgrep when installed. Teams can use ticket to track bugs, features, chores, and epics with priority levels and tags, all by staying within the terminal and Git ecosystem.
