Changes

  • Use a config.yml file in the ISSUE_TEMPLATES folder which adds new buttons with links to the proper place to report certain bugs
  • Remove "migrated" lines from the Markdown bug report template

Context

This config.yml file adds extra links on the issue select screen on GitHub.
GitHub calls this screen the "issue template chooser".
The contact_links have a name, description and URL property.

GitHub docs, configuring the template chooser

Example of how the external links look on the screen (ignore the text for now, you can customize this):

issue-template-chooser-from-pr
See how you get a nice big Open button. 😄
This way we can redirect bug reports that are not for the ProGit 2 project in a visual way, instead of relying on users reading a wall
of Markdown commented text. 😉
