2026. GitHub Adds Custom Fields for Issue Tracking



GitHub now supports custom fields in issues and bugs, accessible both in the interface and through the API and Actions. Previously, users could only use labels, but these lacked types, validation, cross-repository consistency, and reporting capabilities. Custom fields can be configured by type (single selection, text, number, and date), filter lists, search by content, assign fields to issue types, and generate reports. You can even track who changed which field and when. By default, each organization receives four pre-configured fields assigned to the appropriate issue types: priority, effort, start date, and target date. Up to 25 fields can be created.

2006. Trac - web-based bug-tracker with wiki + svn code browser



Trac is a new entrant to the issue tracking space. It's a nice web-based project management tool written in Python. It integrates with existing Subversion repositories; for example, you can browse the code in your repositories with Trac (it'll be displayed syntax-highlighted), view diffs between revisions etc. etc. Additionally, you get a wiki (e.g. for project documentation), as well as a built-in bug-tracker a la Bugzilla, all integrated nicely into a single piece of software... It's Free Software, of course (the license changed from GPL to revised BSD somewhat recently)... You can get tons of useful plugins and macros over at trac-hacks.org for additional functionality, e.g. DoxygenPlugin, GanttPlugin, DebianBtsMacro, and many more.
