Organizing work using labels in Github¶
There are several types of work items that you may want to consider using in GitHub. Here are some examples:
-
Bugs: Bugs are issues in the software that cause it to behave incorrectly or unexpectedly. When you create a bug work item in GitHub, you should provide as much information as possible about the problem, including steps to reproduce the bug and any error messages that were generated.
-
Features: Features are new functionality that you want to add to the software. When you create a feature work item in GitHub, you should provide a detailed description of the feature, including any dependencies or prerequisites that are needed for it to be implemented.
-
Documentation: Documentation is information that helps users understand how to use the software. When you create a documentation work item in GitHub, you should provide details about the documentation that needs to be written or updated, as well as any guidelines or standards that should be followed.
-
Tasks: Tasks are smaller pieces of work that need to be completed as part of a larger project. When you create a task work item in GitHub, you should provide a clear and concise description of the work that needs to be done, as well as any relevant details or constraints.
-
Epics: Epics are large pieces of work that are broken down into smaller tasks. When you create an epic work item in GitHub, you should provide a high-level description of the work that needs to be done, as well as any relevant details or constraints.
