About Trac

Trac is an open-source wiki and issue tracking system for software development teams. It provides a minimalistic web-based approach to project management, with an integrated wiki, convenient reporting, a timeline of project events, and a roadmap of upcoming milestones. Trac connects issues, tasks, changesets, files, and wiki pages through seamless references and wiki markup, and integrates with version control systems such as Git and Subversion to keep development work traceable.
