repository can create an organization discussion repository administrators and project maintainers can manage discussions and discussion categories in a repository and pin discussions to increase the

the source repository determines how a user can interact with organization discussions for more information see repository roles for an organization for more information about management of discussions see managing discussions about polls you can create polls in the polls category to gauge interest in new ideas and project direction anyone with read access to your repository can create polls vote in polls and view their results signed out users can view the results of polls in public repositories polls require a question and at least two options you can add a maximum of eight options and the options can contain a maximum of 128 characters voters cannot change their vote editing a poll will reset any votes that have already been cast for more information on creating polls see creating a poll about discussion organization you can organize discussions with categories and labels you can categorize discussions to help community members begin conversations in the right place and to help community members find related discussions all discussions must be created in a category for repository discussions people with maintain or admin permissions to the repository define the categories for discussions in that repository for organization discussions people with maintain or admin permissions to the source repository define the categories for discussions in that organization each category has a format open ended discussion question and answer or announcement each repository or organization can have up to 25 categories for discussions with a question answer format an individual comment within the discussion can be marked as the discussion s answer github will automatically recognize community members who contribute the most comments marked as answers to discussions with a question answer format maintainers can use categories with the announcement format to share information releases or events to keep discussions in these categories focused on important updates only people with maintain or admin permissions can create new discussions but anyone can comment and reply for more information see managing categories for discussions to organize
