for a software product.
- Issue tracking enables a software development team to capture,
organize, and manage work collaboratively.
- New issues can be opened in a repository using the ‘New issue’
button.
- Text on issues use Markdown styling for formatting.
- A user can interact with issues in multiple ways: commenting,
mentioning others, linking to other issues and pull requests, and
more.
- Labelling issues can help with organization and filtering.
- Templates can be incorporated into any GitHub repository and can
make issue creation more structured.
- External links can be listed with the templates to help direct users
to external resources.
