Task/Management/Git-Friendly

• git/Friendly Task Management

  • This is a class of software products that
    • represent hierarchies of tasks along with their statuses
    • in such a way that it can be committed to git
    • and used by parallel AI agents on different machines without significant merge conflicts
    • is
      • Offline/First
      • Local/First
    • is NOT
      • based on a local database in a way that is incompatible with storing it in git in a way that avoids merge conflicts by design
        • e.g. don't rely on SQLite binary database files put in naively in git or git lfs or tell users they can periodically do a bulk export without explicit guidance on supporting every task landing in git in a flat file
          • for example, td takes the sqlite approach, and I wouldn't consider it "Git-Friendly"
      • based on a cloud provider like Linear, JIRA, GitHub/Issues
