Some nice improvements here. It appears, though, that Projects suffer from the same problem we've had with Issues: they are limited to one repo. I know there are some tools to manage Issues across repos, but for the most part, the tools seem to assume you work on only one repo, or that milestones only affect a single repo. I would love to see projects/milestones become more capable when dealing with cross-repo issues…

At Goldbely, our solution has been to have a single GitHub repo that's just for issues and use tags to highlight the actual code repos involved.

Works pretty well, if a little awkward at first.

Can we get this updated to this? defunkt didn't post this blog post before TechCrunch talked about it. I'd much rather had linked to it.

OK, we've updated the link from https://techcrunch.com/2016/09/14/github-gets-built-in-proje....

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.

This is a rough summary of what all I read in the blog post: 1. projects. replaces trello, waffle.io, zenhub and many other similar services. 2. code reviews allow approval/request changes as sunny's screenshot shows 3. reviews can be made mandatory. 4. github platform integrations is getting a roadmap 5. a graphql api to query their database 6. enforce 2fa in organizations (much love for this one) 7. summarized time…

>projects. replaces trello, waffle.io, zenhub and many other similar services. This is really not about replacing those services, it's more about building a better foundation for integrators like Waffle and ZenHub to build on.

I'm looking at https://www.zenhub.com/product, and while it does have some extra features (filters on priority, labels), but for most people the base set provided by github is gonna be sufficient.

Sure, it won't completely replace them, but GitHub building this as a platform counts as competition.

Yup! Using Projects will force us to maintain multiple projects for one single "real" project, as our code is split across multiple repositories. (Web app, desktop client, infrastructure, company issues, etc)

I suspect it's still a lot better than the alternative but not having org-wide Projects is a little sad.

It looks like enforcing 2fa in an org (finally!) means anyone who doesn't have 2fa will be booted out (included whoever may be paying for it at the time) with an email explaining why. I'm afraid to tick the box because of this. :o/
