Replace GitHub issue template with more guided issue form? #50861

Open gdalle opened 1 year ago

gdalle commented 1 year ago

The current issue template can feel a bit intimidating, and at the same time it is not always well-followed. GitHub recently introduced issue forms in beta, and some people on Discourse feel like these forms could provide a nicer experience for beginners.

I can draft a PR to get this started if there is enough interest.

One thing to add: When I experimented with this in the past, I noticed that in order to preview the changes in the PR, you'll have to make the form changes on the master branch of your fork, so that github uses the template on your fork directly. You can take a look at the version I originally experimented with on my fork; it's still on the master branch (though the repo is otherwise far behind). Feel free to use it for inspiration!

Sounds like you could make the PR yourself ;)

Done - the rebasing was surprisingly pain free, since noone touched the templates since.
