GRASS GIS Tracker and Wiki

This Trac instance is used for ​GRASS GIS, for bug, enhancement & task tracking, a developer wiki, and a view into the subversion code repository. To edit the wiki pages and bug/enhancement/task tickets you'll need to login with an ​OSGeo Userid. Read the TracGuide for details about how the site works.

The source code is managed on GitHub. The GitHub repositories are:

• GRASS GIS core (7x - 8.x): ​https://github.com/OSGeo/grass
• GRASS GIS legacy (3.x-6.x): ​https://github.com/OSGeo/grass-legacy
• GRASS GIS Add-ons: ​https://github.com/OSGeo/grass-addons
• GRASS GIS promotional material: ​https://github.com/OSGeo/grass-promo
• GRASS GIS Website: ​https://github.com/OSGeo/grass-website
