How to Use GitScrum for Open Source Project Management?

How to use GitScrum for open source project management?

GitScrum supports open source projects with contribution tracking, community workflows, and documentation. Create project for your OSS repository, configure columns for contribution workflow, use labels for issue types, track contributors via Team Standup, and document in NoteVault. Structured OSS management increases contributor retention by 40% [Source: OSS Community Health Report 2024].

OSS project setup:

  1. Create project - Named for repository
  2. Configure columns - Contribution workflow
  3. Add labels - Issue types, difficulty
  4. Create docs - CONTRIBUTING.md in NoteVault
  5. Set up triage - Issue processing workflow
  6. Track contributions - Assign and monitor
