Question 1

How does Peacae work?

Accepted Answer

Peacae reads your Git commits and creates tasks automatically. Add Wemp tags (@wemp_start, @wemp_progress, @wemp_end) to commit messages, scan with Pull Data, and watch tasks appear. No workflow changes needed. Works with AI assistants, traditional coding, or manual task creation. Explore the quick start guide to see it in action.

Question 2

What Git providers work with Peacae?

Accepted Answer

Any Git repository. GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, self-hosted—doesn't matter. Peacae reads from your local .git folder, so if you can clone it, Peacae can track it. No API keys or provider access needed.

Question 3

Do I need to change my workflow?

Accepted Answer

No. Keep committing like you always do. Add Wemp tags when you want visibility. That's it. Everything else happens automatically.

Question 4

Can I track multiple projects?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Track as many projects as you need. Organize by project, filter by repository, see everything in one dashboard.

Question 5

Is my code secure?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Peacae only reads commit messages—never your source code. Your code stays in Git. Data stays on your machine or infrastructure. No tracking, no telemetry, no data collection. See the documentation for details.

Question 6

How do I get started?

Accepted Answer

Install Peacae, add a project with your Git repository path, scan commits with Pull Data, and start tracking. Takes minutes. Your existing workflow stays the same—just add Wemp tags when you want visibility. Try it and see what clarity emerges.

Question 7

What if I work from different locations?

Accepted Answer

Peacae reads from Git, so location doesn't matter. Commit locally, push to remote, scan with Pull Data. Your work gets tracked wherever you are.

Question 8

Can I track past commits?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Scan historical commits when you add a project. Set how far back to scan—last month, quarter, or entire history. Peacae creates tasks from commits with Wemp tags.

Question 9

What if I forget to add tags?

Accepted Answer

Add tags to future commits, or create tasks manually. You can rescan historical commits after adding tags. See the Wemp tags reference for details.

Question 10

Can I customize tags?

Accepted Answer

Peacae uses standard Wemp tags (@wemp_start, @wemp_progress, @wemp_end, @wemp_feature). Add descriptive text after tags for context. Example: "@wemp_start user-auth-001 Add authentication". Explore the Wemp tags reference to learn more.

Question 11

How does Peacae work for teams?

Accepted Answer

Multiple people can use the same Peacae instance. All commits are tracked automatically. See who worked on what through commit authors. Set up Organizations, Teams, and permissions as needed. Check the documentation for team setup.

Question 12

What if my Git provider is down?

Accepted Answer

Peacae reads from local Git, so provider downtime doesn't matter. Pull latest commits locally, then scan. Your work gets tracked regardless.

Question 13

Can I export my data?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Export tasks, reports, and analytics as CSV or JSON. Choose date ranges, projects, or repositories. Useful for backups, migration, or integrations.

Question 14

How do I backup Peacae?

Accepted Answer

Backup the PostgreSQL database (or PGlite for desktop). Your Git commits also serve as backup—rescan to recreate tasks. See documentation for backup procedures.

Question 15

Does Peacae work with private repos?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Public or private—doesn't matter. Peacae reads from local Git, so as long as you can clone it, Peacae can track it.

Question 16

What about merge commits and pull requests?

Accepted Answer

Peacae tracks merge commits like any other commit. Tag commits in feature branches—tasks appear immediately. When merged, tasks stay linked to original commits. See work-in-progress before merge.

Question 17

Is there an API?

Accepted Answer

Yes. REST API for integrations, custom dashboards, and automation. Query tasks, create reports, access analytics. API docs included with installation.

Question 18

What do I need to run Peacae?

Accepted Answer

For developers: Git 2.0+ and the installer. For non-developers: Just the installer. Everything else is bundled—Node.js, PostgreSQL (PGlite), all dependencies. See the Download page for details.

Question 19

How often does Peacae scan commits?

Accepted Answer

You control it. Scan manually with Pull Data, or set automatic polling every 15-30 minutes. Scanning happens locally—no external services. See documentation for setup.
