User owned issue fields and issue types [GA] #1344

Open

Description

@github-product-ops

Value Prop

Issue types and issue fields are now available in your personal repositories, giving you the same structured planning capabilities that teams in organizations have been using to standardize their workflows. You can customize issue types and fields to match how you work, making it easier to organize and track your projects with consistency.

Expected Outcome

By extending issue types and issue fields to user-owned repositories, we're empowering individual developers to bring enterprise-grade planning tools to their personal projects. This makes GitHub a unified platform for planning at any scale—from solo projects to large team efforts—and helps users develop better practices around how they organize and track their work.
