GitHub Issues - Do you use Issue Templates?

Last updated by Brady Stroud [SSW] over 2 years ago.See history

GitHub Issues offer a great way of raising Issues within projects. However, it can be difficult to distinguish whether the Issue is a bug, feature request or just a question. GitHub Issue Templates should be used to help standardize Issues and ensure they have enough information for a developer to start work.
