I am a fan of the JetBrains Tools and therefore we (3 dev's) use JetBrains YouTrack.
It's on premise, free for 10 Dev's and you can but do not have to use the complete functionality with timereporting and so on.
Additionally if you may later want that you could directly connect their tool for code reviews, the build server application for CI and the so called HUB as the main manager for logins and projects.
But as far as i know you'd get most of this also by gitLab, which i think should also be free up to a certain amount?

Try Gitea gitea | Gitea[^] a self hosted github clone.
Exception up = new Exception("Something is really wrong.");
throw up;
|
|
|
|
|
We are using Gitea on a Windows server with a PostgreSQL database for years now and it's very stable.
If you don't want to self-host it, there is a free hosted version: Codeberg[^]
|
|
|
|
|
I'll add another 👍 for Gitea - dead easy to install and administer (I connected it to our AD domain in about 2 minutes) and pretty simple to use too.
Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

Trello.
Don't skip just yet (:
- describe the issue and fixes on a card - have entire conversations there if you like
- cards can have custom fields - so you end up with a drop-down on the card for stuff like priority, classification
- search your board any time for text on cards or people associated with those cards (probably on custom fields too - I have never tried)
- the ability to place cards in lanes such as "incoming", "triaged", "work in progress", "fixed", "deployed" and associate board members with cards
- SVN integration is one I'm not sure about - we link pull requests, branches, etc from Github there, so I guess if your SVN server exposes a web interface, you could deep-link to commits and files
Trello is really simple to use and can be expanded upon with power-ups as you need them. The company I work at, for instance, wrote email integration so you can use Trello like a help-desk or customer queries queue: you mail the associated address, the power-up creates cards, and comments on cards are mailed back to the people involved (it's called SendBoard and has a free tier, if you want to give it a go)

If you say that getting the money
is the most important thing
You will spend your life
completely wasting your time
You will be doing things
you don't like doing
In order to go on living
That is, to go on doing things
you don't like doing
Which is stupid.

Since leaving IT and now have zero budget for real stuff, I just use Excel. It works, but probably only because we are a "team" of 2

So what do you do nowadays?

I retired for a couple of years, then applied to a local firm as a VBA "Developer" (quotes mine). The intention was to take it easy but still have an income to pay for my love of travel.
Once they found out I used to work in IT and was quite handy with SQL, I ended up with more and more "technical" stuff. Now I'm in a small, multi-skilled business-side team that advises on Process Improvement, RPA Automation, Insights & MI as well best use of Office tools, Power suite and general geekiness I did manage to get SSMS installed - probably because it's free - but long gone are the days of being able to knock something up in C#. Can't even use any of the scripting languages as I'm not on the white list

Redmine is a solution to all the features you ask for.
It is open source can be run out of a Docker container, onsite, for a 'free' option.

Git commits?
We use asana for tasks, and we add subtasks and comments along the way. New issues get added to the product backlog section and tags get added for priority. As a task is picked up, the person doing the work assigns the task to him/herself, and others may be added as collaborators or assigned to subtasks within the main task. It's simple and searchable.

I use a product I developed for a client some years ago. Admittedly, it needs some updating, but it covers the basic things you want to do. You can look at the product and download a demo at Lucid Help Desk[^]
There is a client-server version available, which is not listed in the purchase page.
|
|
|
|
|
We wrote our own app to do that. You get just what you want that way. But, I think that there are open source help desk apps available.

Our IT uses Roundup[^] to track it's own internal issues. Small footprint, easy to use, easy to maintain. We don't use any integration, but it is possible[^]

Hello,
I can recommend redmine.
https://www.redmine.org
I have used it for years as a free install on a local linux box. Stores its data within PostgreSQL, MySQL or MariaDB. Links/integrates to various source control programs. I have it linked to svn and git. So you can see the check ins against the tickets. And review the changes without ever leaving redmine.
There are hosts for it too, though i've never used them so can't suggest one.
Hope that helps.
Cheerio
