Read the first 6 GitHub Projects and Issue Management flashcards as text
In GitHub Projects (Projects v2), what are 'custom fields' used for?
Answer: Extending project items with additional metadata like priority, story points, or dates
Custom fields in GitHub Projects v2 let teams add metadata such as priority, effort estimates, or iteration numbers directly to project items.
What is the difference between a repository-level project and an organization-level project in GitHub?
Answer: Organization projects can aggregate issues and PRs from multiple repositories; repository projects are limited to one repo
Organization-level projects can pull in issues and pull requests from any repository within the organization, enabling cross-repo tracking.
Which GitHub Projects view is best suited for long-term planning and showing item timelines?
Answer: Roadmap view
The Roadmap view in GitHub Projects displays items on a timeline, making it ideal for visualizing long-term plans and scheduling.
What is the purpose of GitHub Issue Templates?
Answer: To pre-fill issue forms with structured prompts that guide reporters in providing necessary information
Issue templates provide structured forms or markdown starters that prompt reporters to include all relevant information such as steps to reproduce, expected behavior, and environment details.
How does the 'Duplicate' label or closing-as-duplicate workflow help in GitHub issue management?
Answer: It signals that an issue has already been reported and links to the original, reducing redundant work
Marking an issue as a duplicate and referencing the original prevents teams from working on the same problem twice and consolidates discussion.
What is a GitHub Project's 'Iteration' field used for?
Answer: Grouping work into fixed time periods (sprints) for agile planning
The Iteration field in GitHub Projects lets teams assign items to specific sprints or time-boxed cycles, enabling agile-style sprint planning and tracking.
