It gives us great pleasure to announce our integrated issue tracking system! On repository pages you’ll now see an “Issues” tab in the top menu. Here’s a quick rundown of the features:
- Deal with your issues just like you deal with email (fast, JavaScript interface)
- Create and apply labels to issues to assign to users or categorize
- Drag and drop issues to prioritize them
- Vote on issues that you want to see tackled
- Search, sort, and filter
- Close issues from commit messages
- Keyboard shortcuts
If you already use another issue tracker, you can disable Issues in the new “Features” section of your repository’s “Admin” tab.
