About

tiki is a lightweight issue-tracking, project management and knowledge base tool that uses git repo to store issues, stories and documentation.

tiki uses Markdown files stored in tiki format under .doc/tiki subdirectory of a git repo to track issues, stories or epics. Press Tab then Enter to select this link: tiki and read about tiki format
Project-related documentation is stored under .doc/doki also in Markdown format. They can be linked/back-linked for easier navigation.

Since they are stored in git they are automatically versioned and can be perfectly synced to the current state of the repo or its git branch. Also, all past versions and deleted items remain in git history of the repo

Board

Board is a simple Kanban-style board where tikis can be moved around with Shift-Right and Shift-Left As tikis are moved their status changes correspondingly. Statuses are configurable via workflow.yaml. Tikis can be opened for viewing or editing or searched by ID, title, description and tags.

To quickly capture an idea - hit n in the board or any tiki view, type in the title and press Enter You can also edit its status, type and other fields, or open the source file directly for editing in your favorite editor

Documentation
