# Back
> An extremely simple git issue tracking system. Inspired by tvix's panettone.
## Usage
`back` is modelled after `cgit`, only for `git-bug` initialized repositories.
The server is than started at `http://127.0.0.1:8000` and provides access to the
issues (bugs) tracked via `git-bug`, via multiple routes:
### `/`
The default index is a list of all repositories that have `git-bug` data in
them.
### `<repo_path>/issues/?query=<query>`
This path displays all issues that match the query `<query>` for the repository
at `<repo_path>`.
### `<repo_path>/issue/<issue_id>`
Displays the actual issue with `id` `<issue_id>`.
### `<repo_path>/issues/feed`
An RSS feed usable to subscribe to. This includes all issues and all comments of
issues.
## Configuration file
The config file is passed to `back` via the first command line argument. It is
written in JSON. An example configuration file is available at
[`./contrib/config.json`](./contrib/config.json).
Following keys are required:
### `source_code_repository_url`
The URL to the source code of this instance of `back`.
### `root_url`
The root URL this instance of `back` is hosted at. For example:
`https://issues.foss-syndicate.org`. This is required by the RSS feed to
generate links to the various issues/comments.
### `scan_path`
The path under which to search for the repositories as specified by the
`projects.list` file. This is semantically the same as `cgit`'s `scan-path`.
### `project_list`
The path to the file specifying the repositories to search. A repository path
per line. This is semantically the same as `cgit`'s `project-list`.
### Note
`back` needs write access to the repository, because it will generate an entity
lookup cache at `.git/git-bug-rs`.
## Licensing
This project complies with the REUSE v3.3 specification. This means that every
file clearly states its copyright.
