GitHub Issues

Create issues, break them into sub-issues, track progress, add custom fields, and have conversations. Visualize large projects as tables, boards, or roadmaps, and automate everything with code.

![The image shows a project management interface with tasks and issues listed. The background is purple, and there are three overlapping task cards. The top card has a green "Open" status label and is titled "Task: Updates to aliens and cannon game logic." The middle card has a purple "Closed" status label and is titled "Update collision logic." The bottom card, which is the most detailed, has a green "Open" status label and is titled "New rendering engine #920." It includes comments from a user named 'carlawonders' who commented 5 days ago about follow-up work on the new rendering engine. There are sub-issues listed under this task, including Intelligent Chatbot Support, User profiling and segmentation, User interface design for AI integration, Real-time tracking of user behavior and preferences, and Documentation and user guides

![The image shows a project management interface with a teal to purple gradient background. At the top, there is a green "Open" label and "3 tasks" listed under the heading "Improve alien character controls." Below this, there are three task cards. The first card is from user rajqflow, posted 5 days ago, discussing feedback from testers about sprite animations and tagging users @inesvibe, @hanksolo, and @chieda to share the beta tester report. The second card is from user inesvibe, posted 5 days ago, announcing that they have published the report with a link to octocoradeo/testerlist#13. The third card is from user khayrizen again, posted 4 days ago, mentioning dark mode support for UI #179588.

Bored of boards? Switch to tables and roadmaps. Create views for how you work.

Save views for sprints, backlogs, teams, or releases. Rank, group, sort, slice and filter to suit the occasion. Create swimlanes, share templates and set work in progress limits.

No mouse? No problem. Every action you can take with the mouse has a keyboard shortcut or command. Filter, sort, group, and assign issues. Your hands never leave the keyboard.

Track metadata like iterations, priority, story points, dates, notes, and links. Add custom fields to projects and edit from the issue sidebar.

Track the health of your current iteration cycle, milestone, or any other custom field you create with new project insights. Identify bottlenecks and issues blocking the team from making progress with the new burn up chart.

![The image shows a line graph with data from July 1 to July 13. The x-axis represents dates, and the y-axis represents numerical values from 0 to 175. Three lines are shown: purple for "Done", green for "In progress", blue for "To do", and pink for "No status". A tooltip on July 5 shows "Done: 74", "In progress: 55", "To do: 48", and "No status: 23".

We all need a way to plan our work, track issues, and discuss the things we build. Our answer to this universal question is GitHub Issues, and it’s built-in to every repository. GitHub’s issue tracking is unique because of our focus on simplicity, references, and elegant formatting.

With GitHub Issues, you can express ideas with GitHub Flavored Markdown, assign and mention contributors, react with emojis, clarify with attachments and videos, plus reference code like commits, pull requests, and deploys. With task lists, you can break big issues into tasks, further organize your work with milestones and labels, and track relationships and dependencies.

We built GitHub Issues for developers. It is simple, adaptable, and powerful.
