  • View all your repositories - Create, update, and track issues across repositories - Assign issues to team members - Add comments to issues - Create and manage labels to categorize tasks - View repository milestones - See repository collaborators
  1. Managing multiple GitHub repositories efficiently.
  2. Collaborating with team members on tasks and issues.
  3. Organizing project tasks with labels and milestones.
