I have been writing lots of code lately And I still only have local git repository. I do not like why git doesn't have a built in bug or issue tracker and a kanban board or something. I wished Git and Fossil hybrid should have won. I thought about using fossil many times but it seems codex and claude have deeper integration with git. I don't like installing software which keeps growing into infinite feature Monster. Maybe I'll install gitea or forgjo idk. That's the last piece of puzzle remaining for me I've already mastered deployment and HA on bare metal from OVH and Hertzner, already have scaled to tons of users

GitHub is actively used to do code review and bug tracking. There is a number of tools that offer it on top of git, in a distributed way, but it means that yo need to install them locally on every machine involved. What's worse, GitHub is widely used as a CI/CD solution, it runs massive amount of build pipelines and test suites. There is a ton of players in this space, too. GitHub's main value proposition was having all these things in one place, as a convenient web app, for free or for moderate money. So they're crushed by the success of their model.

"I thought about using fossil many times but it seems codex and claude have deeper integration with git." Don't let "agentic" "coding" be the reason to avoid fossil. Fossil and other VCS are much easier for humans to use than Git is; there's no reason to have an LLM burning up tokens and the environment to do tasks you'd do yourself quickly and correctly.
