You can create issues in your repository to plan, discuss, and track work. Issues are quick to create, flexible, and can be used in many ways. Issues can track bug reports, new features and ideas, and anything else you need to write down or discuss with your team, and you can use Projekte to plan and track the work for your team. You can also break your work down further by adding sub-issues and easily browse the full hierarchy of work to be done.
Issues can be created in a variety of ways, so you can choose the most convenient method for your workflow. For example, you can create an issue from a repository, while adding sub-issues, convert a comment in an issue or pull request, create an issue from a specific line of code, or via a URL query. You can also create an issue from your platform of choice: through the web UI, GitHub Desktop, GitHub CLI, GraphQL and REST APIs, or GitHub Mobile. See Einen Issue erstellen.
Tipp
You can also use Copilot Chat to generate ideas, outlines, or drafts for discussions or blog posts, based on your issues. See Schreiben von Diskussionen oder Blogbeiträgen.
About sub-issues
Sie können einem Problem Unterprobleme hinzufügen, um größere Arbeitspakete schnell in Aufgaben aufzuteilen. Unterprobleme unterstützen Hierarchien von Problemen auf GitHub, indem Beziehungen zwischen Ihren Problemen hergestellt werden. Sie können mehrere Ebenen von Unterproblemen erstellen, die Ihr Projekt genau darstellen, indem Sie die Aufgaben genau so detailliert aufschlüsseln, wie Sie und Ihr Team es benötigen. See Hinzufügen neuer Unterprobleme and Browsen von Unterproblemen.
About issue dependencies
You can define blocking relationships between issues using issue dependencies. Issue dependencies let you identify issues that are blocked by, or blocking, other work. See Creating issue dependencies.
Metadata on issues
You can add metadata to your issues, including issue types, labels and milestones to organize your issues.
See Managing issue types in an organization, Verwalten von Bezeichnungen and Informationen zu Meilensteinen.
About integration with GitHub
Issues integrate with your work all across GitHub. Mentioning an issue in another issue or pull request will create references between them and using keywords, like fixes:, in your pull requests will automatically close the associated issues. See Einen Pull Request zu einem Issue verknüpfen.
Using Projekte to plan and track your work
Projekte is strongly integrated with issues to plan and track the work for your team. All your issue metadata is available in your projects, allowing you to create views and filters to represent your work. See Informationen zu Projects.
Staying up to date
To stay updated on the most recent comments in an issue, you can subscribe to an issue to receive notifications about the latest comments. To quickly find links to recently updated issues you're subscribed to, visit your dashboard. For more information, see Informationen zu Benachrichtigungen and Quickstart for your personal dashboard.
You can assign yourself and teammates to issues to make it clear who is working on an issue and also make it easier for you to locate your issues. See Issues und Pull Requests anderen GitHub-Benutzern zuweisen and Anzeigen aller Issues und Pull Requests.
Community management
To help contributors open meaningful issues that provide the information that you need, you can use issue forms and issue templates. See Verwenden von Vorlagen zur Förderung nützlicher Issues und Pull Requests.
To maintain a healthy community, you can report comments that violate GitHub's Community Guidelines. See Missbrauch oder Spam melden.
Efficient communication
You can @mention collaborators who have access to your repository in an issue to draw their attention to a comment. To link related issues in the same repository, you can type # followed by part of the issue title and then clicking the issue that you want to link. To communicate responsibility, you can assign issues. If you find yourself frequently typing the same comment, you can use saved replies.
See Grundlegende Schreib- und Formatierungssyntax and Issues und Pull Requests anderen GitHub-Benutzern zuweisen.
Comparing issues and discussions
Some conversations are more suitable for GitHub Discussions. Du kannst GitHub Discussions verwenden, um Fragen zu stellen und zu beantworten, Informationen freizugeben, Ankündigungen zu tätigen und an Unterhaltungen über ein Projekt teilzunehmen oder daran teilzunehmen. Weitere Informationen finden Sie unter Informationen zu Diskussionen. For guidance on when to use an issue or a discussion, see Kommunikation in GitHub.
When a conversation in an issue is better suited for a discussion, you can convert the issue to a discussion.
