A project is an adaptable collection of items that you can view as a table, a kanban board, or a roadmap and that stays up-to-date with GitHub data. Your projects can track issues, pull requests, and ideas that you note down. You can create and customize multiple views by filtering, sorting, and grouping issues and pull requests, visualize work with configurable charts, and add custom fields to track metadata specific to your team. Rather than enforcing a specific methodology, a project provides flexible features you can customize to your team’s needs and processes. * Learning about Projects , 1 of 10 * About Projects , 1 of 3 * Quickstart for Projects , 2 of 3 * Best practices for Projects , 3 of 3 * Creating projects , 2 of 10 * Creating a project , 1 of 2 * Copying an existing project , 2 of 2 * Managing items in your project , 3 of 10 * Adding items to your project , 1 of 4 * Converting draft issues to issues , 2 of 4 * Editing items in your project , 3 of 4 * Archiving items from your project , 4 of 4 * Understanding fields , 4 of 10 * About text and number fields , 1 of 10 * About date fields , 2 of 10 * About single select fields , 3 of 10 * About iteration fields , 4 of 10 * About issue fields in projects , 5 of 10 * About parent issue and sub-issue progress fields , 6 of 10 * About pull request fields , 7 of 10 * About the issue type field , 8 of 10 * Renaming custom fields , 9 of 10 * Deleting custom fields , 10 of 10 * Customizing views in your project , 5 of 10 * Changing the layout of a view , 1 of 6 * Customizing the table layout , 2 of 6 * Customizing the board layout , 3 of 6 * Customizing the roadmap layout , 4 of 6 * Filtering projects , 5 of 6 * Managing your views , 6 of 6 * Automating your project , 6 of 10 * Using the built-in automations , 1 of 5 * Using the API to manage Projects , 2 of 5 * Automating Projects using Actions , 3 of 5 * Adding items automatically , 4 of 5 * Archiving items automatically , 5 of 5 * Viewing insights from your project , 7 of 10 * About insights for Projects , 1 of 3 * Creating charts , 2 of 3 * Configuring charts , 3 of 3 * Managing your project , 8 of 10 * Managing visibility of your projects , 1 of 7 * Managing access to your projects , 2 of 7 * Managing project templates in your organization , 3 of 7 * Closing and deleting your projects , 4 of 7 * Adding your project to a repository , 5 of 7 * Adding your project to a team , 6 of 7 * Exporting your project data , 7 of 7 * Finding your projects , 9 of 10 * Sharing project updates , 10 of 10 Help and support Did you find what you needed?
