A standalone Python library for working with git-bug repositories

ezgb: easy git-bug for Python

A standalone Python library for working with git-bug repositories. It lets you list, create, query, and update bugs that are stored as native git objects -- no external database required.

Features

• Fast reads -- bug data is read directly from git objects via pygit2 (libgit2 bindings). Listing uses the git-bug CLI cache when available (~100ms for hundreds of bugs).
• Safe writes -- all mutations go through the git bug CLI, which keeps Lamport clocks and the operation DAG consistent.
• Simple API -- one main class (GitBugRepo) with plain Python dataclasses for bugs, comments, and identities.

Quick example

from ezgb import GitBugRepo, Status

repo = GitBugRepo('/path/to/repo')

# List open bugs
for bug in repo.list_bugs(status=Status.OPEN):
    print(bug.title)

# Create a new bug
bug = repo.create_bug('Login page is broken', 'Steps to reproduce...')

# Add a comment
repo.add_comment(bug.id, 'I can reproduce this on Firefox 130.')

Requirements

• Python 3.9 or later
• pygit2 (libgit2 Python bindings)
• git-bug v0.10+ on your $PATH (needed for write operations and fast cached listing)

Installation

git clone https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/ezgb/ezgb.git
cd ezgb
pip install -e .

Documentation

Full documentation is in the docs/ directory. Build it with:

pip install sphinx sphinx-rtd-theme
make -C docs html

Then open docs/_build/html/index.html in your browser.

Running tests

pip install -e '.[dev]'
python -m pytest

The test suite includes unit tests (using real git objects in temporary repos via pygit2) and integration tests that exercise the full stack including the git-bug binary.
