Every Git commit contains valuable information: what changed, why it changed, who changed it, and when. Yet most project management systems treat Git as a separate entity, forcing teams to manually bridge the gap.
Git as Source of Truth
For developers, Git is already the source of truth. It tracks every change, maintains history, and enables collaboration. Why shouldn't it also be the foundation of your project management?
What Git-Based PM Enables:
- • Automatic issue creation from commits and PRs
- • Status updates triggered by branch merges
- • Real-time synchronization between code and tasks
- • Complete audit trail of all changes
The Developer Experience
Imagine committing code with a message like "fix: resolve authentication timeout" and having a task automatically created, linked to your PR, and updated when merged, all without leaving your terminal or IDE.
This isn't just convenient; it's transformative. It eliminates the double-entry problem, ensures perfect synchronization, and lets developers focus on what they do best: writing code.
This approach also solves the context switching problem that plagues most development teams.
