Turn any GitHub repository into a simple but powerful agile work environment.
Free, simple and fast so you can focus on the actual coding!
add your API token and run the script.
cp config/credentials.example.yml config/credentials.yml
echo "access_token: my-github-api-token" > config/credentials.yml
ruby prepare-repository.rb '<username>/<repo>'
- items are reported as issues
- points and meta data are assigned to items as labels
- milestones are used to group issues in sprints
To create a new backlog item, just create a new issue.
Once a new issue has been created, assign it the right labels and/or assign it to a sprint (milestone).
Issues allow you to have a conversation about the item and even allow you to create task lists inside the issue using GitHub's markdown.
Add the following labels to your repository:
priority labels allow you to prioritize items in your backlog e.g.:
priority: lowestpriority: lowpriority: mediumpriority: highpriority: highest
point labels allow you to to assign velocity points to individual items (issues) e.g. using Fibonacci numbers:
point: 1point: 2point: 3point: 5point: 8point: 13point: 21
type labels allow you to easily filter items (issues) in the dashboard e.g.:
type:bug: bugtype:chore: chore, maintenance worktype:feature: new featuretype:infrastructure: infrastructure relatedtype:performance: performance relatedtype:refactor: refactortype:test: test related
You can define and assign custom labels that you need within your workflow or organization.
You can create a project for every sprint and add items.
This allows you to group items in sprints and track them by project in your issue dashboard. Create project for each release.
