![]() I hope this will save others the pain and suffering (and a days worth of my time) that I spent fiddling around.īefore starting I recommend reading the Wiki pages on installing and upgrading Redmine. Below, I outline for posterity the steps I took which finally got it working for me. Sadly, though it was a breeze to get Bitnami’s stack installed, it was not as straightforward to get it working with the trunk version of Redmine. I spent some time reading through their Wiki documentation on upgrading and it definitely seemed doable. I decided I wanted to have that feature and I also wanted to have the ability to update my Redmine installation from the trunk whever I wanted. That feature was added to the trunk after 0.8.4. Unfortunately, while the 0.8.4 version included by Bitnami supports Git repositories it is missing support for Git branches. You can download a Redmine WAMP stack from Bitnami (or a LAMP stack for Linux), which will get you setup and running with Redmine, MySql, Ruby and Apache in minutes (it also includes a Subversion server which you can use if you really prefer SVN). Setting up Redmine is fairly easy, even for Windows. Two that caught my eye were a charting plugin to provide burndown and other charts and a code review plugin. Even more, it comes with a host of community supported plugins. It has it’s own repository browser built-in and thus is not dependant on any other components to make it work. Redmine has excellent built in SCM integration for a wide range of systems including SVN, Git, Hg and more. Still, it does look like a great issue/bug tracker and I hope they can resolve their SCM integration issues soon. Even for SVN it relies on external web interfaces such as WebSVN. We originally tried out Fogbugz, but it’s integration with SCM solutions, particularly Git is somewhat limited. Our choices: Git for SCM, TeamCity for CI and Redmine for issue/feature tracking. The key components are: source control (SCM), continuous integration (CI) and issue/bug tracking. Over the last couple weeks, we’ve been trying to pick out a solid combination of tools for a Windows based dev environment.
