My case is that I'm a member of an organization and I'm assigned to lead a project.
In my Github org, I created a Project corresponding to the project's name and my member initiated a Repository.
Inside the Repository is this:
I'm just a bit confused right now. How do you guys go about this? You have an Org>'Project' where you initially plan to organize your issues etc., and what do you do with this one?
Your organisation can have “projects” just like users, and any repository can also have “projects”. Your organisation project might list the TODOs for your organisation, but for your repository you might have a board to track issues/PRs etc specific to the repository.

I have a couple questions related to GitHub template repositories. My team regularly creates repositories from a GitHub template repository. We also have a GitHub team and like to add all of our repositories to our team.
My questions are:
Anytime a new repository is created from our template repository, how can it be automatically added to our GitHub team's list of repositories?
Anytime a new repository is created from our template repository, how can myself (and someone else) automatically be made admins of this new repository (even if we didn't create the repository)?
I've searched all over documentation and Stack Overflow for possible solutions but came up empty handed. I've looked into using CODEOWNER files which might be useful, but don't look like they're designed for this use case. I've also looked into creating new repositories from the GitHub CLI using the template repository and maybe a shell script to add it to our GitHub team, but was hoping for a simpler solution.
Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions!
In my previous Github repos, I was able to create a project under the repo which was specific to the repo, but now I cannot see this option for the new repos.
I can still use Project (Classic) in my previous repos.
Github now push me to create a project under my account, and link to the repo, but I want to create a project just under the repo.
In my side, the problem is that, when I try to create an "Issue", the user can see all of my projects under my account, but I don't want that.
The user should only see the related project.
Can I somehow have the previous version of the projects?
Thanks
I've set up a public GH project board that I wanted to share with some people, but when they fork it, only the code transfers over and their project tab remains empty. How can I share this so people can use it? I tried setting it up as a template but that didn't help.
I never seen the notion of "fork" for a project board. Only link.
See "Linking a repository to a project board"
Anyone with write permissions to a project board can link repositories owned by that organization or user account to the project board.
You can link up to twenty-five repositories to your organization or user-owned project board.
Linking repositories makes it easier to add issues and pull requests from those repositories to your project board using Add cards or from the issue or pull requests sidebar
I don't believe GH can do this. Gitlab can.
I know this question sounds dumb, but I am unable to understand the difference between the main project and project option provided inside each repository.
Are they same? (But the URL differs)
I looked at help.github.com
but it doesn't help.
I basically understand that for larger projects management, project inside repository is helpful.
on what uses cases, they provided the another project outside of repository and linking those repositories to it?
Is that for structuring?
There is a repository on github (sometimes called a "project") where you store your code. You change the code, make a git commit, and push those code changes to the github repository.
GitHub also has a feature called "projects" which provides you a method for managing the work that needs to be done on the code. GitHub also has "issues", an issue tracker. You can use the GitHub Project Board to organize your GitHub issues, giving you a way to see see where things are at in your effort on the code.
You can turn off the "projects" and "issues" features in the repository settings, you don't have to use them. The center of work is the code in the repository, which might be referred to as a project -- the Projects feature lets you manage your issues in GitHub in a more visual format.
The difference is in the scope. The "main project" (user-owned project board) can have issues and pull requests from multiple repositories whereas the "project in repository" (repository project board) can contain only the issues and pull requests belonging to that repository.
From the Project boards docs:
Types of project boards:
User-owned project boards can contain issues and pull requests from any personal repository.
Organization-wide project boards can contain issues and pull requests from any repository that belongs to an organization. You can link up to twenty-five repositories to your organization or user-owned project board...
Repository project boards are scoped to issues and pull requests within a single repository. They can also include notes that reference issues and pull requests in other repositories.
I am managing a project and the scenario is that I need to first check the code written by my team and then after correcting it I need to push the code on the client repository.
So I think there should be two repository one is for us and another one is client repository which will have the final clean code.
Now when I am pushing the code on client repository It is showing all commits what we have on our repository that I do not want.
How can in one project folder manage both the repository individually ?
