Using GitHub Issues

Tracking work for DocOps Lab projects

DocOps Lab projects use GitHub Issues to track work items and user reports.

We also use our own tools to manage GH Issues:

  • Issuer for bulk-posting issues

  • ReleaseHx for generating release notes and changelogs from issues.

See GitHub Issues Types and Tasks Reference.

Managing GitHub Issues with gh

The GitHub CLI tool, gh, can be used to manage issues from the command line.

See GitHub CLI Manual: gh issue for details on using gh to create, view, edit, and manage issues and issue metadata.

Some common commands:

Create a new issue.
gh issue create --title "Issue Title" --body "Issue description." --label "bug,component:docs" --assignee "username"
List open issues.
gh issue list --state open

View a specific issue.

gh issue view <issue-number>

Bulk-posting Issues with Issuer

The issuer tool can be used to bulk-post issues to any repository from a YAML file.

Follow the instructions at Issuer to install and use the tool.
