Milestones - rsanchez-wsu/jfiles GitHub Wiki

This guide is to help new users navigate the various options of the milestone function in GitHub.

To navigate to milestones from the start page click on the issues tab.

Now that we are on the issues tab click on the milestones icon.

From here we can now view the various milestones that are open. If we were to click on the milestone (red arrow) it would bring up the detailed menu containing the information and the various issues attached. We could also create a new milestone by clicking on the new milestone tab (orange arrow).

Lets go ahead and click on a milestone to view more information about it.

Now that we are viewing a milestone there a few tidbits of information to notice. Here we can view under the milestone name: a due date, completion percentage, the body of information, as well as issues that are attached to the milestone. If one was to click on the new issue button, an issue can automatically be assigned to that milestone.

Now lets take a look at what shows up if we were to click on the checkbox on a issue within this milestone.

We can see that a few options will pop up on the top right hand side of the issue tab. Mark as: will allow to open or close the issue. Label: will allow you to assign more information about the issue such as a bug, or an enhancement change. Milestone: this will allow to place the issue on a different milestone. Assign: this will allow to designate specific users to an issue.

Finally, if we were to edit a milestone or create a new one it will bring up the following page with a few options.

This page will simply allow one to make a title and description of the milestone, and allow you to designate a due date for the completion of the milestone. When one is finished with thier milestone they can save the changes, or if the milestone is completed may close the milestone. Closing a milestone will remove it from the milestone page.
