Note
- Projects, the all-new projects experience, is now available. For more information about Projects, see "About Projects."
- You can only create a new project (classic) for an organization, repository, or user that already has at least one project (classic). If you're unable to create a project (classic), create a project instead.
You can add issue or pull request cards to your project (classic) by:
- Dragging cards from the Triage section in the sidebar.
- Typing the issue or pull request URL in a card.
- Searching for issues or pull requests in the project (classic) search sidebar.
You can put a maximum of 2,500 cards into each project column. If a column has reached the maximum number of cards, no cards can be moved into that column.
Note
You can also add notes to your project (classic) to serve as task reminders, references to issues and pull requests from any repository on GitHub Enterprise Server, or to add related information to your project (classic). For more information, see Adding notes to a project (classic).
You can view and make lightweight edits to issues and pull requests within your project (classic) by clicking on the issue or pull request's title.
You can link up to twenty-five repositories to your organization or user-owned project (classic). Linking repositories makes it easier to add issues and pull requests from those repositories to your project (classic) using Add cards or from the issue or pull requests sidebar. When you search for issues and pull requests to add to your project (classic), the search automatically scopes to your linked repositories. You can remove these qualifiers to search within all organization repositories. For more information, see Linking a repository to a project (classic).
