It sounds like what you're asking is for a bug tracker that lists all known issues. Git doesn't have one of those; we instead use the mailing list for reporting issues. We've considered using a bug tracker in the past, but the idea hasn't caught on yet. The GitHub project is a mirror; it isn't the canonical resource, and the Git project doesn't use it for issues or pull requests. Both of these are also the same policy as for the Linux kernel[0], which you may or may not use. If you're looking for an easy way to check off a compliance box, you may need to work with your management and/or auditors to see what approach you use for other software (such as Linux) that has nontraditional bug reporting practices. If you typically use a Linux distro that addresses this issue for you, then you'll probably want to use Git from that source as well. Alternatively, you can use Git for Windows on a non-Windows system; it should compile and run just fine on Linux, macOS, and Windows, although it tends to carry more patches than Git itself. [0] Yes, kernel.org has a bug tracker, but it is known to be incomplete and many issues are raised only on the various mailing lists. --=20 brian m. carlson: Houston, Texas, US OpenPGP: https://keybase.io/bk2204 --rwbb4r/vLufKlfJs Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.2.16 (GNU/Linux) iQIzBAABCgAdFiEEX8OngXdrJt+H9ww3v1NdgR9S9osFAl0nX0sACgkQv1NdgR9S 9ot7hg/9GPZS2rHG2itzMJLwb5576urWbVUasSn9hHct3A2rWaFOUCaD/bBRsvMl VyrKJEWHfSJZqDMR8V3TW97kDa0wUB37kCBMGkqgShHWq5Pe7a4F5ZVEEr7oeqaA xW/53yGqHyEUpnVRVBjjakg1iCimI8FlK5K8Q/pHfoH5Rj/5UAw+cdp24UdgU7Ye 5Jb3YytUYq+MB/svf34TjfHjeoMDQvEe6evGGXTnnEFLqUSD2FhNhipi+JxidikU ut27UTJh2ZuCtNtHUgQNdkZp6WpPTFhFM/2wx28CwK2P+NGTN6JMXBzUtlGUOad/ sgR/R1EpEh/bFZEuyeZ5DlY0m7T/DqmJ0s/gkIBqTCNaFUq1AA7bD2OuiJhGxIoN UojK1FwFncuk8lhn6ld61SlsQlCkGTgvPQwyvj+fwQd4BHVchQN0maJNPPZlbaP6 lOT3vxkBZ53GxmXn+i4RPQ2QGnlEiLzR+TcBD0Uygb1C5JKpLMoawv6/JRp+1f3N JfELAt58R6lAGaypuRUIXCR0kB6yPryVi590M4lTVuHjnuzukXEH/Ou7HCCysqoN NjIDb2qlmF2AygkOQRo+wX1o1Nv+UzUvZhJFUsztMvg5msdOEF8dE5kXsP7s/Q2T OXsPBxqST7pBODzEB9F8XT5hXiS8e0vzpSEUp8k2s0p36vYUJDk= =E4d4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --rwbb4r/vLufKlfJs--
