There’s a lot you can do on GitHub that doesn’t require a complex development environment – like sharing feedback on a design discussion, or reviewing a few lines of code. GitHub for iOS lets you move work forward wherever you are. Stay in touch with your team, triage issues, and even merge, right from the app. Browse, organize and manage your GitHub Issues. Gitscout provides a beautiful. New experience to stay organized. And get your work done. 'Save' any issue in one click. And stay focused. Blazing fast navigation across. All your repositories. Search, filter, and sort.

Issues are a great way to keep track of tasks, enhancements, and bugs for your projects. They’re kind of like email—except they can be shared and discussed with the rest of your team. Most software projects have a bug tracker of some kind. GitHub’s tracker is called Issues, and has its own section in every repository.

For example, let’s take a look at Bootstrap’s Issues section:

GitHub’s issue tracking is special because of our focus on collaboration, references, and excellent text formatting. A typical issue on GitHub looks a bit like this:

A title and description describe what the issue is all about.
Color-coded labels help you categorize and filter your issues (just like labels in email).
A milestone acts like a container for issues. This is useful for associating issues with specific features or project phases (e.g. Weekly Sprint 9/5-9/16 or Shipping 1.0).
One assignee is responsible for working on the issue at any given time.
Comments allow anyone with access to the repository to provide feedback.

Milestones, Labels, and Assignees

Once you’ve collected a lot of issues, you may find it hard to find the ones you care about. Milestones, labels, and assignees are great features to filter and categorize issues.

You can change or add a milestone, an assignee, and labels by clicking their corresponding gears in the sidebar on the right.

If you don’t see edit buttons, that’s because you don’t have permission to edit the issue. You can ask the repository owner to add you as a collaborator to get access.

Milestones

Milestones are groups of issues that correspond to a project, feature, or time period. People use them in many different ways in software development. Some examples of milestones on GitHub include:

Beta Launch — File bugs that you need to fix before you can launch the beta of your project. It’s a great way to make sure you aren’t missing anything.
October Sprint — File issues that you’d like to work on in October. A great way to focus your efforts when there’s a lot to do.
Redesign — File issues related to redesigning your project. A great way to collect ideas on what to work on.

Labels

Labels are a great way to organize different types of issues. Issues can have as many labels as you want, and you can filter by one or many labels at once.

Assignees

Each issue can have an assignee — one person that’s responsible for moving the issue forward. Assignees are selected the same way milestones are, through the grey bar at the top of the issue.

Notifications, @mentions, and References

By using @mentions and references inside of Issues, you can notify other GitHub users & teams, and cross-connect issues to each other. These provide a flexible way to get the right people involved to resolve issues effectively, and are easy to learn and use. They work across all text fields on GitHub — they’re a part of our text formatting syntax called GitHub Flavored Markdown.

Notifications

Notifications are GitHub’s way to keep up to date with your Issues. You can use them to find out about new issues on repositories, or just to know when someone needs your input to move forward on an issue.

There are two ways to receive notifications: via email, and via the web. You can configure how you receive notifications in your settings. If you plan on receiving a lot of notifications, we like to recommend that you receive web + email notifications for Participating and web notifications for Watching.

Last Updated: August 5, 2020Although we can’t promise to turn you into Grandmaster Flash overnight, we can show you the absolute best DJ software for Mac in 2020 to set you on your way.The good news is that when it comes to DJ software, Mac users have not been ignored by software developers.

With these settings, you receive emails when people specifically mention you, then visit the web-based interface to keep up to date with repositories you’re interested in.

You can access your notifications through the notifications screen. This screen is nice for scanning many notifications at once and marking them as read or muting the thread. Try using keyboard shortcuts to speed up your workflow here — press ? on the page to see which shortcuts are available.

Muted threads won’t show up as unread again until you are specifically @mentioned again. This makes muting a great strategy for threads that you have little interest in (perhaps a sub-system that you aren’t familiar with). If you mark an issue as read, it will stay that way until someone comments on the thread again.

GitHub also syncs read/unread status for email notifications — if you read a notification in your email client, it will be marked as read in the web-based interface (make sure you allow your email client to display images if you’d like this functionality).

@mentions

@mentions are the way that we reference other GitHub users inside of GitHub Issues. Inside of the description or any comment of the issue, include the @username of another GitHub user to send them a notification. This works very similar to how Twitter uses @mentions.

We like to use the /cc syntax (an abbreviation for carbon copy) to include people in issues:

It looks like the new widget form is broken on Safari. When I try and create the widget, Safari crashes. This is reproducible on 10.8, but not 10.9. Maybe a browser bug?

/cc @kneath @jresig

This works great if you know the specific users to include, but many times we’re working across teams and don’t really know who might be able to help us. @mentions also work for Teams within your GitHub organization. If you create a Team called browser-bugs under the @acmeinc organization, you can reference the team with @mentions:

/cc @acmeinc/browser-bugs

This will send notifications to every member of the browser-bugs team.

References

Often times issues are dependent on other issues, or at least relate to them and you’d like to connect the two. You can reference issues by typing in a hashtag plus the issue number.

Hey @kneath, I think the problem started in #42

When you do this, we’ll create an event inside of issue #42 that looks something like this:

Issue in another repository? Just include the repository before the name like kneath/example-project#42.

One of the more interesting ways to use GitHub Issues is to reference issues directly from commits. Include the issue number inside of the commit message.

By prefacing your commits with “Fixes”, “Fixed”, “Fix”, “Closes”, “Closed”, or “Close” when the commit is merged into main, it will also automatically close the issue.

References make it possible to deeply connect the work being done with the bug being tracked, and are a great way to add visibility into the history of your project.

Search

At the very top of each page is a search box that lets you search through issues.

You can scope search results by:

Keyword, such as, all issues mentioning the sidebar
State, such as, all issues mentioning the sidebar that are closed
Assignee, such as, all issues ment
