Explaining GitHub to a TFS user

Question

I have started to use Cloud9 IDE recently and have to say I really like it as an individual. I use VS 2010 at work and TFS 2010 too. This made me think about the TFS equivalent for Cloud9. GitHub is something I have always been aware of but never really used.

I have done my research and read docs etc, what I really need some clarification in though is the whole Work Item system. I know GitHub has an Issue tracking but does it have a Work Item system similar to TFS. With the main features such as assigning work items to developers?

A little explanation to just clarify would be fantastic. Thanks!

Answer 1

If you're looking for a way to have Issues show up like WorkItems in your task list in visual studio, I don't think there is a solution for this to date.

You can however assign developers to issues within GitHub:

1. Create or Edit an Issue

2. Click the gear next to "No one is assigned".

3. Select a member from your organization to assign the issue to them.
