        You did it!

        You can now track work with issues, labels and milestones.

        Go deeper (optional)

        Assign an issue to a person, so everyone knows who is on it. Type #14 anywhere to link that issue. Use filters like is:open label:bug to find issues fast. New repos start with a few labels, but you can make your own. Milestones can have a due date too.
