Linear
A fast, keyboard-centric issue tracking and project management tool designed specifically to streamline modern software development workflows.
What it is
Linear was built as an antidote to slow, bloated project management software. It features a highly opinionated, minimalist interface that forces teams into efficient agile workflows. It integrates directly with GitHub; referencing a Linear issue ID in a Git commit automatically updates the ticket and alerts the team.
When you would use it
You use Linear when you want a lightning-fast, beautifully designed issue tracker that gets out of the developers' way and integrates deeply with version control.
Common operations
- Tracking bugs and planning two-week engineering sprints via keyboard shortcuts.
