Your own personal DW bug tracker on your GitHub fork

[foxfirefey]

So, sometimes Bugzilla can be slow to reference/search, or sometimes you want to break up a bigger bug into a set of tinier bugs without cluttering up Bugzilla or making a bunch of comments to your bug in Bugzilla that you then have to manually scan for information.

Your personal GitHub fork can have its own simple bug tracker! Log in, go to your fork of dw-free or dw-nonfree, and find the settings in the button bar. Go check the box next to issues. Voila! You now have a very simple, fast issue tracker you can use in a way that is most convenient to you. The link to the issues interface will be a button in the toolbar. Here's mine so far:

https://github.com/foxfirefey/dw-free/issues

You can note that I'm putting the Bugzilla bug number in the header of each issue, just so I know what bug each issue belongs to. I have also made myself a milestone for the next code push (tomorrow!), so I can filter down to which issues I want to have finished by then.

You can also check the wiki box to have your own personal wiki notebook for taking your research notes that aren't relevant to anyone else by checking the wiki box on that settings page.

I hope this is useful for you! I'm thinking it will be very useful for me.

we would totally love any insights you can share!

Thanks for mentioning this. I didn't think we could use it on our personal accounts (although I did disable the wikis so that's the nice case of not seeing what's right in front of you...) and that does seem very useful. Fey for the win!

Oh, that's a cool idea. Hmmm.

Hmmmm. This is interesting. I'll have to try it out.

You can totally see me set up a Foundation milestone! And make wee little subcategory bugs for it.

SO EXCITING.
