[FEAT] Updates to Issue templates ๐
Opened this issue ยท 0 comments
Reason/Context
I am suggesting to update the Issue templates , currently we are using .md
files instead of the brand new issue forms with .yml
files.
Why to update it ?
- The
.yml
based issue templates makes it more easier to organize, ask your questions, add screenshots and choose other options as necessary - Plus, we can add "custom" labels to the issue template which makes it more organized than having a bot/user do it.
Relevant screenshots
Am i willing to work on it ?
Yes, i will be glad to help an Opensource project grow more !
Detailed description
I am talking about the issue templates which can be wrote using .yml
, inside the .github > ISSUE_TEMPLATES
.
Yes the bot is cool TBH, but the .yml
based issue template is cooler.
Currently we are throwing in a markdown based Issue template. The problem is the user may/maynot fill in some fields. Then the maintainers again would have to ask them to fill those. Additionally, It's also not much of a beginner friendly thing, because all someone would see is questions and might be confused on how to structure their issue.
So adding proper, structured issue templates would be helpful for both the contributors as well as the maintainers to manage their repository.
Features of adding these issue templates
- Required fields
- Less dependant on bots
- Proper options for mentioning their
browsers
,operating systems
and more. - Interactive Check boxes to confirm if they have read the
guidelines
and more. - Better Developer experience.
