GitHub Issue Templates Repository

A collection of reusable GitHub issue templates designed to standardize and streamline common development workflows, code reviews, and quality improvements across repositories.

Overview

This repository contains pre-configured GitHub issue templates that can be easily adopted in any project. These templates ensure consistent documentation, thorough analysis, and clear expectations for various development tasks.

Available Templates

1. Create Copilot Instructions

File: .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/create-copilot-instructions.yml

Generate comprehensive copilot-instructions.md files based on codebase analysis. This template helps document:

• Coding standards and architectural patterns
• Test coverage requirements
• Linting and formatting rules
• Contribution guidelines

2. Comprehensive Codebase Review

File: .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/comprehensive-codebase-review.yml

Request a thorough evaluation of your entire codebase including:

• Code quality and best practices assessment
• Architectural documentation and diagrams
• API and library dependency inventories
• CI/CD pipeline health analysis
• Modernization recommendations
• Scoring system (1-10 scale) across 10 categories
• All deliverables organized in a copilot-eval/ folder

3. Improve Test Coverage

File: .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/improve-test-coverage.yml

Drive test coverage improvements with clear goals:

• Target 80% coverage across statements, branches, functions, and lines
• Supports Playwright and other testing frameworks
• Before/after coverage reporting requirements
• Structured acceptance criteria

4. Improve Test Coverage (Java)

File: .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/improve-test-coverage-java.yml

Focus on Java repositories that rely on JUnit:

• Emphasizes achieving at least 80% coverage with JUnit and Mockito support
• Requires documenting before/after coverage metrics in the PR description
• Highlights critical path testing plus refactoring existing tests when needed
• Provides detailed task list tailored to Java-specific edge cases
