Using issue templates can streamline your project management by providing a consistent format for reporting issues. This helps in categorizing and prioritizing tasks effectively.

What are the key components I should include in an issue template?

Key components typically include a title, description, steps to reproduce, expected vs. actual results, and any relevant tags or labels.

Can you give me an example of a good issue template?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

Title: [Bug] Issue with login functionality

Description:

• Steps to Reproduce:
  1. Go to the login page.
  2. Enter valid credentials.
  3. Click on 'Login'.

• Actual Result: User remains on the login page with an error message.

How do I implement these templates in a project management tool?
