User Documentation

Installation

  1. Download the latest release from http://github.com/rkumar/bugzy.txt/downloads

  2. Edit the bugzy.cfg and update the TSV_DIR to whereever your bug files should be created.

  3. Make the bugzy.sh file executable, and place it in your PATH.

    chmod +x bugzy.sh
    mv bugzy.sh ~/bin/bugzy

  4. Move the config file to your home directory.

    mv bugzy.cfg ~/

The bug files are created in a directory ".todos" inside TSV_DIR.

Add-ons may be placed in $HOME/.bugzy.actions.d (default).

Dependencies

Unfortunately, some reports do require GNU's date (coreutils). In add, I have coded so GNU will fail through to BSD then to perl, but there's a lot of work to do the same for all date calcs. There is a big difference in the options of GNU and BSD :-(.

If you use BSD date, pls install gnu's date as gdate and in bugzy.sh replace DATE=$( date ) with DATE=$( gdate )

Usage

Current operations include add, mod, delete, list, list by severity, show / print, tag, quick/q (listing), grep, qadd (quick add) and various listings.

When adding an issue, entry of fields can be reduced by adding a default in the config file, and setting PROMPT to NO. When entering due_date, a value such as "+3" or "tomorrow" may be entered (provided your version of date can do the conversion.

You can add an issue with only a title using qadd. Defaults will be used for other fields, or can be passed on the command line (use help option for examples).

b qadd --type:bug --severity:cri --due_date:2009-12-26 "a title"

Actions to directly change status are open, started, closed, canceled, stopped or the first 3 letter of each.

"pri" adds a priority to as task or bug, which results in a change in color, and having it sorted above. "depri" removes priority.

"liststat" lists tasks for a given status (|open|closed|started|stopped|canceled|).

"show" item#

b show 106    # shows the bug 106, with colors 
b -p show 106  # show the bug in plain (no colors)

"viewlog" item#

b log 108 # displays logs of 108

"viewcomment" item# # view comments for a item

"addcomment" item# # add a comment

"fix" item# # add a fix or resolution

"recentcomment" | "rc" # view recent comments "recentlog" | "rl" # view recent logs

"delcomment" item# comment# # delete comment from an item

"lbs" # list by severity b lbs --fields:"1,3,4,7,8" # display only given fields

"upcoming" | "upc" [--start-date=true] list upcoming tasks based on due date (or optionally scheduled start date)

"overdue" [--started=1] list tasks that should have finished (or started) by now (an addon that uses GNU's gawk)

Add-ons include mdel, mpri, mdepri which do multiple deletes or priority setting and unsetting.

From v0.3.0, you may view deleted or archived data with the --deleted=true or --archived=true. This would work for show, print, list, quick, grep.

TO ADD MORE HERE.

You may also alias bugzy to "b" in ~/.bashrc or equivalent.

 alias b='bugzy -d ~/bugzy.cfg'  
 alias bq='b q -CLO -CAN'

 b add "Module aaa crashes on startup"  
 b show
 b list  
 b mod 1 # user can select fields to modify 
 b start 1  
 b close --comment="some optional comment comes here" 1  
 b clo   --fix="resolved by ...." 1
 b show  
 b add "Module bbb crashes on startup" # user prompted for other fields 
 b pri 2 A  
 b  

 b depri 2  
 b q
 b q -CLO -CAN
 b q "(OPE|STA)"
 b status
 b grep crash
 b tag URG 1 2
 b grep @URG
 b liststat OPE
 b newest 5
 b recentlog
 b recentcomment
 b chpri 1 2 P2
 b chstart 1 2 +5
 b chstart 1 2 2009-12-25

 b -h     # short help
