How to Use the Issue Tracker

To create a new issue in github

• Go to the ‘Issues’ tab and click ‘New Issue’.
• Create a title for your issue.

1. Please try to use the following format:

• “[ language or framework you’re using ] — [ short (< 80 chars) description of issue ]”
• Give a description of the issue you’ve got.

1. Please try to use the following format:

• Linter Output:
• [ output from grunt nag/bin/rake nag ]
• Issue Description:
• [ what you were doing when the problem showed up ]
• [ error message (as text), if one exists ]
• [ the code that caused the error (as a fenced code block) or ]
• [ the code that isn’t working as expected ]
• [ things you’ve tried to fix the problem ]
• [ the last point at which code worked ]

Screenshots are seldom helpful and you should avoid pasting them into an issue.

4. Click ‘Submit New Issue’.
