About issues
You can collect user feedback, report software bugs, and organize tasks you'd like to accomplish with issues in a repository. Issues can act as more than just a place to report software bugs.
{% if currentVersion == "free-pro-team@latest" %} Other conversations are more suitable for discussions. {% data reusables.discussions.you-can-use-discussions %}
{% data reusables.discussions.you-cannot-convert-a-discussion %} {% endif %}
{% data reusables.pull_requests.close-issues-using-keywords %}
To stay updated on the most recent comments in an issue, you can watch an issue to receive notifications about the latest comments. For more information, see {% if currentVersion == "free-pro-team@latest" or currentVersion ver_gt "enterprise-server@2.20" or currentVersion == "github-ae@latest" %}"About notifications{% else %}"About notifications{% endif %}."
To quickly find links to recently updated issues you're subscribed to, visit your dashboard. For more information, see "About your personal dashboard."
Working with issues
With issues, you can:
- Track and prioritize your work using project boards. For more information, see "Using project boards."
- Create new issues to track out-of-scope feedback from a comment in an issue or a pull request review. For more information, see "Opening an issue from a comment."
- Create issue templates to help contributors open meaningful issues. For more information, see "About issue and pull request templates."
- Transfer open issues to other repositories. For more information, see "Transferring an issue to another repository."
- Pin important issues to make them easier to find, preventing duplicate issues and reducing noise. For more information, see "Pinning an issue to your repository."
- Track duplicate issues using saved replies. For more information, see "About saved replies."{% if currentVersion == "free-pro-team@latest" %}
- Report comments that violate {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}'s Community Guidelines. For more information, see "Reporting abuse or spam."{% endif %}
Issues can also be assigned to other users, tagged with labels for quicker searching, and grouped together with milestones.
