Overview
Trac is a wiki and issue tracking system for software development projects, taking a minimalistic approach to web-based project management. It provides an interface to Subversion and Git or other version control systems, and allows wiki markup in issue descriptions and commit messages so bugs, tasks, changesets, files and wiki pages link to each other. A timeline lists project events in order and a roadmap lists upcoming milestones.
- Best for
- Development teams wanting a self-hosted wiki and issue tracker tied to Subversion or Git.
