epiq

The ultimate productivity tool — a CLI-based issue tracking client powered by Git as its backend, living directly inside the repository you work in. No external services. No context switching. Just tickets, versioned and colocated with your code.

Why epiq?

• Simplicity — Skip the additional tooling complexity
• Repo-native — Lives inside your project directory
• Offline-ready — Works wherever Git works
• Team-friendly — Collaborate through normal Git workflows
• Shareable — ASCII board exported to .md, viewable in the CLI, on GitHub/GitLab, or as your project README.
• CLI-first — Fast, scriptable, and developer/agent-friendly

📦 Installation

Install globally using npm:

npm install --global epiq

Verify installation:

epiq --version

🚀 Getting Started

Initialize a project

Create a new epiq workspace inside your current directory:

epiq --init "Project Name"

This sets up epiq in your repository and prepares it for issue tracking.

Open the workspace

Run epiq inside any initialized repository:

epiq

This opens the interactive CLI workspace.

🛠 Philosophy

epiq keeps issue tracking:

• Close to your code
• Versioned with your commits
• Simple and transparent
• Independent from external platforms

If you use Git, you already have everything you need.

Built for developers who live in the terminal.
