Issue System in Github
Issues are used to keep track of asks, enhancements, and bugs for a project. The good thing about issues that they can be shared and discussed with the rest of the team. In every repository, there is an issue section.
An issue can have;
- a title and description.
- a color-coded label to categorize and filter the issues.
- a milestone for mainly associate the issue with project phases.
- an assignee who is responsible for working on the issue.
- comments for anyone with access to provide feedbacks.
Another great thing about issues is that one can notify other GitHub users & teams, and cross-connect issues to each other by using @mentions and references.
Overviews and Reports
Other than the issue section there two pages to summarize the issue situation.
The Issue Dashboard
The issue dashboard provides a broader listing of all issues across many projects but it collects issues differently:
- All issues in repositories you own and collaborate on
- Issues assigned to you
- Issues you’ve created
Pulse
Below each repository, one can see the pulse section. Pulse is a snapchat of everything that’s happened in the repository in a given period.
