GitHub Issues

GitHub's tracking feature for bugs, tasks, and feature requests, linked to pull requests, labels, milestones, and projects.

Definition

Issues can be closed automatically by keywords in PR descriptions such as 'Fixes #42'. Issue forms and templates standardize submissions; GitHub Projects provides boards and tables.

Example

A PR description 'Closes #128' closes issue 128 when merged to the default branch.

Exam tip

Closing keywords only work when the PR merges into the default branch.
