Issue Templates Configuration

GitHub issue templates that provide structured forms for bug reports and feature requests.

Overview

Issue templates are YAML files in .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/ that create interactive forms when users open new issues on GitHub. They ensure consistent, actionable issue reports.

Files

File	Description
bug_report.yml	Bug report template with reproduction steps
feature_request.yml	Feature request template
config.yml	Template chooser configuration

Location

All files are placed in .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/:

.github/
└── ISSUE_TEMPLATE/
    ├── bug_report.yml
    ├── feature_request.yml
    └── config.yml

How It Works

When a user clicks "New Issue" on your GitHub repository:

1. GitHub reads the templates from .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/
2. Displays a template chooser (if multiple templates exist)
3. User selects a template
4. GitHub renders the YAML form fields as an interactive web form
5. User fills in the form and submits

Template Design

Minimal, generic templates that work for any project type.

Automatic Creation

uv run pyrig mkroot

This creates all three template files in .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/.

Customization

Each template can be customized by editing the generated YAML files. The validation only checks that the files exist and are non-empty, allowing full customization.
