Git-native planning workflow for software development.

Plans as Markdown in the repo, open source.

Plot puts planning where the code lives: as Markdown in the Git repo. This page doesn't sell; it shows you one of the technologies we work with. The strongest proof: we plan this website with Plot ourselves.

What is Plot?

Plot is a Git-native planning workflow for software development. Plans live as Markdown files directly in the Git repository, pull requests serve as workflow metadata — Git is the single source of truth. Plot is open source under the CC0 licence.

Three characteristics

Plans as Markdown
Every plan is a Markdown file in the Git repository — versioned, readable, right next to the code it describes.
Git-native
Pull requests are workflow metadata, Git is the source of truth — no separate planning tool alongside it.
Open source under CC0
Plot is freely available under the CC0 licence — open to inspect and to use.

What it gives you

Plans versioned next to the code
Planning and code share the same history — a plan can be traced back to exactly the state it applied to.
Traceable planning history
Every change to a plan lives in the Git history — who planned what and when stays visible.
No separate tool
Planning lives in the repository, not in its own system — one less place to maintain.

Proven, not claimed

The strongest proof: we plan this website with Plot ourselves. The plans live as Markdown in the repo — we use our own tools. The code is open source; look for yourself rather than taking our word for it.
