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 projects 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 Crear una propuesta.
Sugerencia
You can also use Copilot Chat to generate ideas, outlines, or drafts for discussions or blog posts, based on your issues. See Escritura de discusiones o entradas de blog.
About sub-issues
Puede agregar subincidencias a una incidencia para dividir rápidamente porciones de trabajo más grandes en tareas. Las subincidencias agregan compatibilidad con jerarquías de incidencias en GitHub mediante la creación de relaciones entre las incidencias. Puede crear varios niveles de subincidencias que representen con precisión el proyecto si divide las tareas exactamente con el nivel de detalle que usted y el equipo necesitan. See Adición de subincidencias and Exploración de subincidencias.
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, Administrar las etiquetas and Acerca de los hitos.
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 Vincular una solicitud de cambios a una propuesta.
Using Proyectos to plan and track your work
Proyectos 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 Acerca de 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 Acerca de las notificaciones 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 Asignar propuestas y solicitudes de extracción a otros usuarios de GitHub and Visualización de todas las propuestas y solicitudes de incorporación de cambios.
Community management
To help contributors open meaningful issues that provide the information that you need, you can use issue forms and issue templates. See Utilizar plantillas para promover informes de problemas y solicitudes de extracción útiles.
To maintain a healthy community, you can report comments that violate GitHub's Community Guidelines. See Informar abuso o spam.
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 Sintaxis de escritura y formato básicos and Asignar propuestas y solicitudes de extracción a otros usuarios de GitHub.
Comparing issues and discussions
Some conversations are more suitable for GitHub Discussions. Puedes utilizar los GitHub Discussions para hacer y responder preguntas, compartir información, hacer anuncios y conducir o participar en las conversaciones sobre un proyecto. Para más información, consulta Acerca de los debates. For guidance on when to use an issue or a discussion, see Comunicarse en GitHub.
When a conversation in an issue is better suited for a discussion, you can convert the issue to a discussion.
