Managing discussions

About management of discussions

O GitHub Discussions é um fórum aberto para conversa entre mantenedores e a comunidade de um projeto no GitHub. For more information about discussions, see "About discussions."

Organization owners can choose the permissions required to create a discussion in repositories owned by the organization. Similarly, to choose the permissions required to create an organization discussion, organization owners can change the permissions required in the source repository. For more information, see "Managing discussion creation for repositories in your organization."

As a discussions maintainer, you can create community resources to encourage discussions that are aligned with the overall project goal and maintain a friendly open forum for collaborators. Creating a code of conduct or contribution guidelines for collaborators to follow will help facilitate a collaborative and productive forum. For more information on creating community resources, see "Adding a code of conduct to your project," and "Setting guidelines for repository contributors."

When a discussion yields an idea or bug that is ready to be worked on, you can create a new issue from a discussion. For more information, see "Creating an issue."

You can pin a discussion to the top of the list of discussions for the repository or organization. You can also pin a discussion to a specific category. For more information, see "Pinning a discussion."

For more information on facilitating a healthy discussion, see "Moderating comments and conversations."

Para organizar as discussões de forma mais granular, você pode aplicar etiquetas. Por exemplo, você pode usar etiquetas para indicar o status de uma discussão para tornar a triagem mais eficiente. Cada repositório tem um conjunto compartilhado de etiquetas para problemas, pull requests e discussões. Para obter mais informações, confira "Como gerenciar rótulos".
