Like we mentioned earlier, collaboration is at its core of everything GitHub does.

We went over repositories in the first unit of the module and learned that repositories help you organize your project and its files.

The last unit, we learned about pull requests, a way to keep track of changes made to your project.

In this unit, we're learning about issues and discussions, two other pieces that contribute to the collaborative nature of the GitHub Enterprise Platform.

Issues
GitHub Issues were created to track ideas, feedback, tasks, or bugs for work on GitHub.

Issues can be created in various ways, so you can choose the most convenient method for your workflow.

For the walk-through in the next portion, we'll go over how to create an issue from a repository but just know there are a myriad of ways. Here's a list of all the ways you can create issues from.

The different ways to create an issue from:

• a repository
• an item in a task list
• a note in a project
• a comment in an issue or pull request
• a specific line of code
• or a URL query

Creating an issue from a repository
On GitHub.com, navigate to the main page of the repository.

Under your repository name, click (insert issues Icon) Issues.

Click New issue.

If your repository uses issue templates, next to the type of issue you'd like to open, click Get started.

If the type of issue you'd like to open isn't included in the available options, click Open a blank issue.

In the "Title" field, type a title for your issue.

In the comment body field, type a description of your issue.

If you're a project maintainer, you can assign the issue to someone, add it to a project board, associate it with a milestone, or apply a label.

When you're finished, click Submit new issue.

Some conversations are more suitable for GitHub Discussions.

You can use GitHub Discussions to ask and answer questions, share information, make announcements, and conduct or participate in conversations about a project.

In the next section, we’ll review Discussions and how to best utilize the feature.
