If anyone from Github reads this, a) this looks great, b) add project templates please, so we don't have to recreate the same columns every time. Thanks. <3

Similar thing I'd like to see is repo templates. It seems for every repo I create in an organization, I spend time ticking the same boxes over and over. Protected branches for instance is a typical setting I have to duplicate for every repo.

Great idea. Thanks!

While I have your attention. A few thoughts on code reviews. It's be nice if 1) approvals somehow show up on the pull requests index page, 2) create a notification within GH, 3) send an email. Right now you have to go to the PR page itself to see approvals.

Edit: I saw an approval email notification on one PR, but not another.

Thanks!

All reviews definitely generate notifications.

We definitely want to get some way to surface reviews better across all PR's and/or projects. I've been bothered by that myself while we were building this. :)

+1 for seeing approvals visually on the pull request index page. I currently use a "Reviewed" label with my team, and unfortunately we still have to even with this feature.

You might be able to do this using the new graphql api :)

d) create issue templates also, i have to currently cut and paste the same markdown into every issue

e) create user-level permissions - i work on a team where everyone would use this, but currently not everyone can have access to the code base so we have to say in trello until you can allow me the ability to turn off code access to "non-engineers"

Issue templates have been a thing for some months now. https://help.github.com/articles/creating-an-issue-template-...

no shit! thanks for showing me this.
