FAQPage Schema
How do I add an issue to a GitHub project board?

Add issues to your GitHub project board using the gh project item-add command with the project ID, owner, and issue URL. This creates a new board item that appears in your Backlog column, enabling you to track work across your team's workflow.

Can I automate moving issues between board columns?

Yes, automate issue status changes by querying the board with gh project item-list, mapping status names to their field IDs, then updating items with gh project item-edit and the appropriate single-select-option-id for your target column.
