Summary

Organizing projects can be challenging, but GitHub offers tools to streamline this process by allowing users to copy existing project boards and create templates, making it easier to start new projects with a consistent workflow. Users can reproduce the configuration of any project they have access to by copying it into any organization or repository they can write to, while board templates provide pre-configured setups for new Kanban-style boards, complete with columns and automation settings. When copying a board, users can edit the name, descriptions, and automation settings before finalizing the new board, ensuring a customized fit for each new project. Cards are not included in the copied boards, but organization-owned projects can be marked as public, and additional documentation is available to help users simplify their project boards.
