Little Open Ticket System

lots is a simple ticketing system for code.

Using twitter style tagging, you can add a !comment with a #tag and an optional ^priority. lots can also find any mention of the word “TODO” in your code.

Here is an example of a snippet that would be picked up by lots:

!This readme should be improved #documentation ^2

Note that:

• hidden file and directories are not searched.
• lots tickets must have a space before the !comment or be at the start of a line

Tickets

Lots will display found "tickets" in a format like this:

#documentation
 1  Make this useful test/data/index.js:4
 2  This readme should be improved README.md:10
#refactor
 -  make this configuration lib/lots.js:45

Installation

lots has a dependency on ripgrep, which it expects to be available in your $PATH.

Install lots globally via npm:

$ [sudo] npm i -g lots

lots source is available on github

Usage

In a directory you wish to review your code from, run:

$ lots

See lots -h for more options.

Configuration

lots will read any .lotsrc configuration file it can find in either json or ini format, in the paths you might expect.
