tissue

tissue is an issue tracker and project information management system built on plain text files and git. It is specifically intended for small free software projects. It features a static site generator to build a project website and a powerful search interface to search through project issues and documentation. The search interface is built on the Xapian search engine library, and is available both as a command-line program and as a web server.
