# ditz(1)

simple, light-weight distributed issue tracker

## NAME

ditz - simple, light-weight distributed issue tracker

## SYNOPSIS

**ditz** \[ *options* \] *command* \[ *arguments* \]

To list all available commands, use **ditz help**.  To get help for a specific command, use **ditz help** **command**.

## DESCRIPTION

Ditz is a simple, light-weight distributed issue tracker designed to work with distributed version control systems like darcs and git. Ditz maintains an issue database directory on disk, with files written in a line-based and human- editable format. This directory is kept under version control alongside project code. Changes in issue state is handled by version control like code change: included as part of a commit, merged with changes from other developers, conflict-resolved in the standard manner, etc.

Ditz provides a simple, console-based interface for creating and updating the issue database files, and some rudimentary HTML generation capabilities for producing world-readable status pages. It offers no central public method of bug submission.
