GitHub Issues

GitHub Issues is a project management and issue tracking tool integrated into the GitHub platform, allowing developers to report bugs, request features, and organize tasks for software projects. It provides features like labels, milestones, assignees, and discussions to facilitate collaboration and workflow management within development teams.

Also known as: GitHub Issue Tracker, GH Issues, Issues on GitHub, GitHub Bug Tracker, GitHub Project Issues

Why learn GitHub Issues?

Developers should use GitHub Issues to manage the software development lifecycle, especially for open-source projects or teams using GitHub for version control, as it centralizes bug reports, feature requests, and task tracking directly in the repository. It is essential for maintaining project transparency, prioritizing work, and enabling community contributions in collaborative environments.
