Hi all, I am really confused if I am following this correctly? I created the issue template by following these instructions that were given https://docs.github.com/en/communities/using-templates-to-encourage-useful-issues-and-pull-requests/manually-creating-a-single-issue-template-for-your-repository

After creating the issue template, I have made a branch for it https://github.com/JanineSooThow/website/blob/5541-create-issue-template-for-adding-github-handle-to-leadership-member-data-in-project-file/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/add-github-handle.md Can someone please verify I am doing the right thing before I test and prepare the PR? Thank you

Hi @JanineSooThow I think you are definitely on the right track. I cannot tell how many steps you completed in the instructions that were provided in the last Action Item, but the intention is to demonstrate the new issue template by actually creating a new issue in your repository, and that requires that you make the issue branch the default branch on your fork, and that you enable issue creation in your repository settings. Please let me know if a specific step in the instructions is causing a problem. Thank you!

@JanineSooThow I apologize but I need to make a change to the template. I have updated the issue with a "Prerequisite" section, so you will have to make that addition. Thank you

Also Janine if you need assistance, please put the ready for dev lead label on the issue; that makes it easier for me to find. Thanks

@roslynwythe Hello Roslyn, apologies for late reply! I have updated the template with the "Prerequisite" section, however I am stuck on this part in the instructions (this is where I am up to on the Action item "From the Issues page, click "New Issue" then locate the template updated by your issue, and click "Get Started" to open the issue template.").

I have made my issue branch the default branch as per the instructions.

I have created the labels but I am unable to locate the template updated by my issue as per the instructions. Should I just go to "open a blank issue?" and then copy and paste everything from my URL below into this and then add the labels?

This is my URL https://github.com/JanineSooThow/website/blob/5541-create-issue-template-for-adding-github-handle-to-leadership-member-data-in-project-file/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/add-github-handle.md

Apologies for the confusion. Thank you so much!

Hi @JanineSooThow In order to be recognized as an issue template, the markdown file that you create must start with the front matter section as provided in the first Action Item. Front matter is a snippet of YAML placed between two triple-dashed lines at the start of a file. I don't see that front matter section in your file. Perhaps it was deleted when the Prerequisite section was added. I apologize if my instructions were unclear.

The goal is that in your repo, you will be able to click "New Issue" and see the new "GitHub handle in project file" issue template. But that will require that you make the issue branch the default branch in your repo, So follow the instructions that are linked in the last Action Item: instructions
