## Description

git-bug is a distributed bug tracker and local-first issue manager that stores bug reports and comments as versioned objects directly within a Git repository. It integrates project management by coupling issue history with source code, using Git as the transport layer to synchronize task data across multiple local clones.

The system enables distributed bug tracking without relying on a central server or external hosting provider. It utilizes a local indexing cache to provide near-instant searching and filtering of issue metadata without network latency.

The project further supports synchronizing local issue data with external tracking services through service adapters to maintain consistent task status across different platforms.
