Project maintainers can now enhance collaboration by adding templates for Issues and Pull Requests, ensuring contributors provide essential details upfront. This new feature, developed in response to community feedback, allows for the creation of ISSUE_TEMPLATE and PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE files in the root directory or within a .github/ folder of a repository. These templates can include headings, links, mentions, and task lists using Markdown, minimizing clutter while maintaining functionality. This is part of a series of improvements aimed at streamlining project contributions, and further details can be accessed in the provided documentation.
