Paragrimm :godot:

Can anyone recommend a tool that integrates a Kanban (or something else) board with a repo properly? So I can attach commits, PRs etc. to a specific task for example?

Especially in a context, because I need lfs. I've tried 1Dev, but LFS is locked behind EE and I'm now trying . would be awesome though. Azure DevOps or a Jira instance might be a little "too much" for a team of ~5 people, right? Any experiences?

@watchie Looks nice and it's in general a nice idea to integrate that into Godot :D but the tool should have a REST API aswell, so playtesters can click on "Submit Bug" and create a new bug ticket in our system.

@Paragrimm I’m currently using azure devops because it doesn’t have size restrictions on free repos, AND it has a kanban. AND I agree, it’s too much and would love to move to something smaller in scale.

@Perroboc Thanks for your insight. We're using DevOps at work aswell... since our game project is a "hobby project" so far (even though it's planned to form a company someday...), I'd say it's not worth it yet. Do you work alone in Azure DevOps or are you working in a team aswell?

I'm quite surprised how easy it was to setup Forgejo, but the kanban board is directly tied to the issue tracking. Therefore i have to create lots of issues, nav to the board and drag&drop the cards. Meh :D

@Paragrimm I’ve used azure devops with multiple big teams in multiple clients. Right now for my hobby project I’m using it solo, keeping a wiki folder of markdown files to be published online. Was planning to use the kanban feature, but right now I’ve decided to use just repo features.

@Paragrimm Do you have specific needs? What makes the integrated "project" board not work for your purpose?

@Codeberg It feels a bit clunky to me. I'd like to directly add tasks to the board instead of doing it via Issues. Especially, because of the wording. We're currently developing our game and we don't have "issues" yet, but we have stuff that needs to be implemented. It's kinda "unintuitive" (I hope it's understandable) for that purpose. My other "wish" is that I can automatically move the tasks via commit message (we're using conventional commits). I think it's possible via Forgejo Runner?
