Summary

GitHub Projects and Issue Tracker are two powerful tools that can help you manage your software development projects and stay organised. GitHub Projects is a project management tool that lets you create boards to organise your work into actionable tasks. You can create different columns for different stages of your workflow, such as ‘To Do,’ ‘In Progress’ and ‘Done.’ You can also add labels to your tasks to help categorise them and make them easier to find.

You can switch between the Kanban board view and Gantt chart view, and use these to monitor your progress and see your upcoming deadlines, which can help you to stay on top of your work and make sure you hit those milestones.

Meanwhile, GitHub’s Issue Tracker helps you keep track of bugs, feature requests and other issues in your code. You can create issues and assign them to team members, add labels and milestones to help track progress and even link issues to specific commits and pull requests.

Together, GitHub Projects and Issue Tracker provide a powerful suite of tools for managing your software development projects. With them, you can stay organised, collaborate more effectively with your team and track your progress as you work towards your goals. Whether you’re working on a small side project or a large-scale software project, these tools can help you stay on top of everything and ensure that your code is as clean and bug-free as possible.

Next steps

The final task in your journey through version control is to put your understanding to the test – you’ll have a chance to review and reflect before your final assessment, so now might be a good time to look back at the last few lessons and review your learning.

You could even have a go at producing a revision guide using Markdown, or planning your revision using a Kanban board.
