a little bit of guidance on the use of GitHub Isssues for ITHIM-R

  • issues can be anything from general discussions to very specific tasks, questions, problems
  • try not to mix unrelated stuff, avoid laundry lists. - instead, start new issues, and link them
  • you can refer to other issues using #issuenumber as a link
  • you can tag collaboraters with @username
  • you can use various markdown format features. Checklists in particular can be helpful
  • you can assign issues and label them. Make generous use of labels!
  • you can link to wiki pages, or anything else
  • under settings you can set up how you want to be notified about changes to issues (typically set to alerts on issues that you are tagged in)
  • you can respond to issues through your email client (but pls delete earlier messages below your response)
