# Git::IssueManager
Git::IssueManager is a Perl Module for using git as an issue store creating a
**distributed issue management system**.
It uses the *Git::LowLevel* Module to store issues in a **issue** branch using trees and blobs.
## EXAMPLE
```Perl
use Git::IssueManager;
my $manager = Git::IssueManager->new(repository=>Git::LowLevel->new(git_dir=> "."));
if (!$manager->ready)
{
print("IssueManager not initialized yet. Please call \"init\" command to do so.");
exit(-1);
}
my @issues=$manager->list();
for my $i (@issues)
{
print $i->subject . "\n";
}
```
## MOTIVATION
Issue management is an essential part in modern software engineering. In most cases tools
like *jira* or *github* are used for this task. The central nature of these tools is a large
disadvantage if you are often on the road. Furthermore if you are using *git* for version control you have everything available for **distributed issue management**.
### Advantages
* save your issues within your project
* manage issues on the road, without internet access
* write your own scripts for issue management
### Disadvantages
* no easy way to let users add issues without pull request yet
* not all functions implemented yet
## FEATURES
* add issues
* list issues
* assign workers to an issue
* start and close issues
* delete issues
