Summary

GitHub has introduced Category Forms for repository maintainers to create templates for discussions, streamlining the process of starting new discussions by ensuring all necessary information is included from the outset. This feature simplifies the workload for maintainers by making it easier to triage discussions, while also assisting users in creating content with all relevant details. Category Forms function similarly to Issue Forms, allowing maintainers to set up discussion templates that correspond to specific Discussion Categories, stored in the .github/DISCUSSION_TEMPLATE/ directory. Users do not need to alter their approach to using GitHub Discussions, as the integration is seamless. Potential applications of this feature include creating templates for bug reports, design feedback, and feature requests, which can enhance the organization and quality of discussions across various projects.
