Welcome to BugLink’s documentation!¶

BugLink is a Mercurial extension that helps link changesets with Issue IDs.

The final goal is to be able to ask the list of issue being tackled between two changesets.

BugLink is composed of three components:

A developper is working on an issue on his computer where the client-side extension is enabled, during developement, he indicates the issue ID he is working on.
The developper reached a milestone and decides to push his progress to the server. During the push operation, the information about the issue(s) being worked-on is transfered to the server.
The server upon reception of the information updates the database with the changesets and their corresponding issue ID.
Management heard some progress have been made toward the next release, they point their web-browser to the local web shop, and smile as they see that three more issues have been worked at since the last time they looked at it.
