I’ve recently started learning more about DevOps practices and as a
result self hosting quite a bit. I’ve looked around a bit on some of
the awesome GitHub repos, and didn’t see anything that really fit what
I was looking for. What do you all use to plan your future changes you
want to implement on your systems? For now I’ve been using TODO files
in my GitHub repositories. I’ve considered  adding issues for the
changes I’d like to make and then adding them to projects, but that’s
seems a bit cumbersome as the only way I’ve learned to do that so far
is manually.

For example, I’ve got one repo I’ve been adding all my ansible
playbooks to. Each system has its own folder, with its own playbooks.
Earlier this week I was learning about Ansible roles, and realized
that this repo would be better suited for that. I’m in the middle of
setting up a Kubernetes cluster. I’d like to at least finish that up
and have a functional cluster before I move over to creating my role.

I don't think you're going to discover a method that magically works,
what you've tried is pretty much what I do. I would add that if it's
just you, why bother with the project management stuff? Unless you
find it fun. Just work on your ansible repo one feature at a time.

To answer your question, while it is just me, and I wouldn’t say I
find project management fun. I would just find it useful for
documenting where I’m at, things I’ve had ideas to implement, and
things I’ve done.

I don’t mind the method I’m using now. I would like something that
integrates a little closer and eliminates some of the manual work that
comes along with it though. I don’t expect to find something that
automates the process either, though it would be nice.
