What Is It?
GitHub Projects is a built-in task and project management tool that lets you organize issues,
pull requests, and tasks in a Kanban-style board — just like Trello or Jira, but directly inside
GitHub.

You can manage your entire workflow visually without leaving your code environment. Perfect
for solo developers, teams, and open-source maintainers.

Why It’s Useful

• Plan and track features, bugs, and releases

• Organize issues and PRs into columns like To do → In Progress → Done

• Automatically update cards as PRs/issues change status

• Collaborate with teams directly in your repo

• Works for personal projects or organization-wide planning

How to Create a GitHub Project

Step 1: Go to the Repo

• Navigate to your repository on GitHub

• Click the "Projects" tab (or use https://github.com/user/repo/projects)

Step 2: Create a Project


• Click “New Project”

• Choose Board (Kanban style) or Table view

• Name your project (e.g., “Feature Development”)

• Add columns:

o To Do

o In Progress

o Done

Step 3: Add Tasks

• You can add:

o Issues

o Pull Requests

o Notes

• Drag-and-drop tasks as they progress

Pro Tips
• Enable automation: move issues to “Done” when PRs are merged

• Use filters to see who’s assigned what

• Use custom fields (in Projects v2) for deadlines, priority, etc.

• Can be integrated across multiple repos if using organization-wide Projects

Real-Life Use Case
Planning a personal portfolio site?
Use GitHub Projects to list tasks like:

• Setup HTML structure

• Connect CSS

• Add contact form

• Optimize for mobile

• Deploy on GitHub Pages

Move each item from To Do → In Progress → Done as you complete it — clean, visual, and
trackable

Final Thought
“Code is creative. Project management keeps it focused. GitHub Projects brings both together
— right where you work.”
