slim-issue-templates

To standardize GitHub issues, you copy ready-to-use Markdown or YAML form templates into your repository's .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE directory. This enforces consistent issue reporting and reduces noise by providing structured formats for bug reports and feature requests.

Markdown templates provide standard text-based issue forms, while GitHub Form templates use YAML to create structured, fill-in-the-blank submission fields. Both formats populate the .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE directory to standardize how users submit bug reports and feature requests.

To set up GitHub issue templates, copy the bug_report and new_feature template files from the assets directory into your repository's .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE folder. Commit and push the changes, then navigate to the Issues tab in GitHub to see the new templates enabled.

Yes, you can use these Markdown and YAML issue templates in any GitHub repository. The templates are ready-to-use and can be applied to standardize initial issue reporting and onboarding for new projects by simply copying them into the correct directory.

No dependencies or special tools are required to use these GitHub issue templates. You simply need a GitHub repository where you can place the Markdown and YAML files into the .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE directory to enable automatic integration and standardize issue reporting.
