GitHub Projects

First, we create a new repository under everyone’s own account to demonstrate the basic features of "GitHub Projects".

1. Visit https://github.com/ then click on New repository (green buttom on the right).

2. Set your user as the owner of the repository.

3. Give a name for the repository (e.g., GitHub-Project-Example), leave it public, then check Initialize this repository with a README. Click on Create repository afterwards. At this point the remote repository is ready to use.
   

Once the repository is ready, associate a new GitHub Project and see how their features work. Create a project:

Select Basic Kanban project style:

Tasks to complete:

1. Create a few issues to outline the tasks for the first deliverable. Assign them appropriate labels and add yourself as the assignee!
   

2. Create a milestone for the issues.
   

3. Create cards from the issues on the project board.

4. See how GitHub track the project progress as you move the cards from the different columns.
