task-tracking

I've been working on a system to keep a BRANCH_DESCRIPTION file whenever I create a topic branch in git. Like others have mentioned, I too sometimes forget what I created a branch for, even though I try to give it a descriptive name. I have been primarily working off the SO question How do I tell git to always select my local version for conflicted merges on a specific file? , but I've run into a case where the custom merge driver does not get called, so the file from the topic branch being merged in overwrites the local branch. For example: git checkout master echo "mainline" > BRANCH

Are the any task tracking systems with command-line interface? Here is a list of features I'm interested in: Simple task template Something like plain-text file with property:type pairs, for example: description:string some-property:integer required command line interface for example: // Creates task <task tracker>.exe -create {description: "Foo", some-property: 1} // Search for tasks with description field starting from

In the default TFS setup there are three work item types: scenario, task and bug. That last one is quite straightforward, and task also: it's a specific job for a team member to complete. But I think scenario is a bit vague. I usually create a scenario for larger and more general units of work: for example "Create functionality to add employee lines to an employer." Smaller, more specific work items would then be tasks, for example: "Create detail form.", "Create save method on server.", etc When I check in changes I link the changeset to the scenario AND to the specific task. Is this a good

I know this is less programming related and more time management related, but I value the feedback of the users on this site. I'm finding myself particularly busy this semester, managing various tasks and timelines between work and school. Further, I find myself running around between labs, work, home, libraries, etc. For these reasons I think a web based solution is ideal. Which leads to the question, do you have a recommended web based solution for task/project management for personal use? Ideal would be free (or nearly), and one which I could install on my server. Accounting is not a

Is there a way in Git to have a 'description' for branches? While I try to use descriptive names, working for a while on a single branch sometimes dampens my memory of why I made some of the other topic branches. I try to use descriptive names for the branches, but I think a 'description' (short note about the purpose of the branch) would be nice. Greg Hewgill Git 1.7.9 supports this. From the 1.7.9 release notes : * "git branch --edit-description" can be used to add descriptive text to explain what a topic branch is about. You can see that feature introduced back in September 2011, with
