GitHub takes on Trello with new project management tools

GitHub Projects launched on September 14, 2016 with 718 votes, #12 of 3,744 launches that month and more than 99% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 10 years on.

In plain words

GitHub Projects is a project management tool built into GitHub that allows developers to organize and track work directly alongside their code repositories. It provides task boards and workflow management features similar to Trello, designed specifically for software development teams. The tool integrates with GitHub's existing platform, enabling developers to manage issues, pull requests, and project tasks in one centralized location without switching between separate applications.
