bd - Git-Native Issue Tracking

Core Principle

Use bd for all task and issue operations—it's git-native and agent-friendly.

Issues live where your code lives: in git. No external API, no network dependency, no vendor lock-in. Just files, tracked by git, queryable via SQLite, and optimized for AI agent workflows.
