_\o/_ Bugz
/(_)\ v0.2.3

Bgz is a simple command line issue tracking tool written in python. It uses
xml text files to keep a repository of issues so it can live in the source
tree of the project and become part of the source versioning system

Installing
----------
You can find the code at http://github.com/mtvee/bgz

Unfold the archive or checkout the source tree and:

`$> sudo python setup.py install`

to install or

`$> chmod +x ./bgz`

and run it in place.

Now you can run `bgz --help` from the root of your source tree and
possibly figure out the rest. Reading the source may help or hinder.

Running
-------
Bugz is git like. Here's a quick sample sesh...

$> cd my/cool/project
$> bgz init
>> Initialized .bugz
$> bgz add task
>> Adding new task
>> Title: Do something
>> Author [me]:
-> runs editor to add a description
>> Added: ad6cfa42 - t/new - 0:00 - Do something
$> bgz status
>> Status: new/1 open/0 closed/0
>> Task
>> ----
>> ad6cfa42 - t/new - 0:00 - Do something

Bugz will walk up the directory tree to find its files so you can run it
from anywhere in the tree.

Commands
--------
Usage:

$> bgz [COMMAND] [ARG,...]

Commands are:

- `help` - show help
- `init` - initialize a new db
- `add` - add a new issue or project
- `status` - get the db status
- `drop [ID]` - drop an issue or project
- `edit [ID]` - edit an issue
- `comment [ID]` - comment on an issue
- `show [ID|FIELD]` - show an issue. FIELD like s:open OR ty:bug
- `open [ID]` - open an issue
- `close [ID]` - close an issue
- `time [add ID|DR]` - add time or show by daterange (DR see `Dates` below)
- `config [--global]` - show/set some configuration variables
- `purge` - move closed issues to a purged directory

Filtering
---------
You can filter the `show` command using `field:criteria`. Current the filterable
fields are [s]tatus, [ty]pe, [ti]tle, [a]uthor and [d]ate.

e.g.

s:o
status:o
status:open
type:task

Dates
-----
Dates can be input as a range. See `help time` for a list of date range syntax.
These work also for the `show` command.

tw | [thisw]eek = this week (Monday - Sunday)
lw | [lastw]eek = last week (Monday - Sunday)
[y]esterday = (midnight - midnight)
[t]oday | [n]ow = (midnight - now)
DD/MM/YYYY[:DD/MM/YYYY]

Projects
--------
Bugz can keep track of projects you are working on and report logged time
across those projects. From the working area of a project you can `add` or
`drop` the project. The `time` command will report across all currently
active projects.

Config
------
- (global) ~/.bugzrc
- (local) PROJECT/.bugz/_bugzrc

---[snip]---
# comment
; another comment
user.name=your name
user.email=me@someplace.com
editor=vi
ansi=on
---[snip]---

You can set key values with the 'config' command. For example, to set your
editor to textmate:

$> bgz config editor "mate -w"

or to set your name, globally

$> bgz config --global user.name "j. knight"

Recognized configuration items are:

user.name [string]
user.email [string]
editor [string]

Boolean items take [yes,on,1] or [no,off,0]
