Does Linus use JIRA on that little project called the Linux kernel? Why is git with good readmes and clear pull requests not enough project management?
If you're not doing PR's you are just LARPing software development.
I don't hate JIRA, I hate "IT" employees that can't program.
- jsiepkes 4y agoNo Linus uses Bugzilla [1]. Have you ever used it? You'll be begging for Jira once you've used Bugzilla. Also Linux doesn't use pull requests. GIT doesn't even know the concept of a PR. You are supposed to generate a patch with 'git format-patch' and submit it to a mailinglist. [1] https://bugzilla.kernel.org/ https://bugzilla.kernel.org/
- polotics 4y agogit doesn't know the concept of a Pull Request? https://git-scm.com/docs/git-request-pull https://git-scm.com/docs/git-request-pull Bugzilla is for bugs and that's the point, right? A project is not a set of bugs...
- jsiepkes 4y agoA GIT "request-pull" generates a (mail) text with a patch which is to be send to a mailinglist. It's just the automated version of 'git format-patch' which also generates the e-mail message text. It is nothing like a Github PR.
- djur 4y agoWhat's wrong with Bugzilla?
- mr_toad 4y agoThe Kernel isn’t managed solely through patches and README files. There is often a lot of up-front communication and documentation. My takeaway is that the planning and the issue/bug-tracking and the patch submissions are three seperate somewhat independent processes. There are no managers trying to group all the tickets into patches and patches into projects in some sort of neat (but illusionary) hierarchy.
