Understanding GitHub issues – what’s troubling our project?

Imagine you’re working on a big puzzle with a group of friends. You all are placing pieces together, but suddenly, you notice a section of the puzzle looks a bit odd. Maybe a piece is missing, or a couple of pieces don’t fit well. You want to let your friends know about this so that everyone is aware and someone can help to fix it. In the collaboration on projects via GitHub, this is where issues come into play.

GitHub Issues is like a bulletin board for your project. Whenever you or your teammates find a problem, have a question, or want to suggest an idea, you can post it on the Issues board. It’s a place where everyone can discuss what’s going on and come up with solutions together. For example, if you’re working on a website project and the contact form isn’t working, you can create an issue such as Website bug to get it fixed.
