GitHub issue types and issue fields now available for personal account repositories
GitHub made issue types and issue fields generally available on repositories owned by personal accounts. Individual developers and open source maintainers can now use the same planning capabilities previously available to organization-owned repositories.
Why it matters
Solo developers and open source maintainers can standardize issue categorization and add structured metadata to issues without needing an organization account, which can simplify tracking and triage in personal projects.
Who should care
Individual developers, open source maintainers, indie software builders using GitHub for project management
What you can do
In a personal repository's settings, enable issue types and define custom issue fields, then apply them to existing issues to standardize triage.
