Yeah this is what I mean.
> To be honest, I just save all that stuff in text files in the same repo as the code (though usually in a specific directory at the root of the project.) I have some tools that pull meta-data out of text files so I can query them for things like "give me a list of open items" or "give me a list of items tagged with a specific release target."
I love the idea of managing stuff in plain text, will have to try something like this out. Do you have the code up anywhere?
- OhMeadhbh 1y agoHonestly, you're the first person who hasn't recoiled in horror when I explained it. The code I have is very janky. It works about 90% the time and the other 90% of the time I revert to using grep from the command line. I'll document the doc standards I'm using somewhere and then try to fix the code. The other thing I'm working on is figuring out git plumbing so I can force the ~/todo or ~/project directory in a repo to be the same in all branches (that way you can update them no matter what branch you're on.)
