Question

I am going to release some beta version of my application to the community. Project is stored on GitHub in the private repository.

I would like to allow this community to report bugs and place them directly on GitHub Issues tab - it's not provided by GitHub right now. Do you have any idea, how to cover this flow ?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Bitbucket provides this. You can keep the code private but make tracker public (anyone can view, create, and comment on issues).

OTHER TIPS

Not possible as of 2019-09 as documented at: https://help.github.com/articles/issues-only-access-permissions/ (archive):

GitHub does not provide issues-only access permissions, but you can accomplish this using a second repository which contains only the issues.

They suggest that you create a separate public repository just for the issues instead.

Possible same request: Github-like hosting, with private source, public ticketing system
