Administering issues

Learn about performing administrative tasks on issues in your repositories.

Pinning an issue to your repository

You can pin up to three important issues above the issues list in your repository.

Marking issues or pull requests as a duplicate

Mark an issue or pull request as a duplicate to track similar issues or pull requests together and remove unnecessary burden for both maintainers and collaborators.

Transferring an issue to another repository

To move an issue to a better fitting repository, you can transfer open issues to other repositories.

Closing an issue

You can close an issue when bugs are fixed, feedback is acted on, or to show that work is not planned.

Deleting an issue

People with admin permissions in a repository can permanently delete an issue from a repository.
