Git and GitHub offer numerous functionalities that facilitate the sharing of work among developers, such as branches, forks, issues, and pull requests, but these features can be challenging for students and new developers to master. GitHub provides tools like issue and pull request templates, labels, project boards, and saved replies to assist instructors in offering productive feedback and enhancing students' communication and project planning skills. By preparing repositories with templates and utilizing GitHub Classroom, instructors can guide students in creating structured issues and pull requests, fostering collaboration and peer feedback. Instructors can also assess and provide feedback on students' work using the same tools, modeling real-world development practices and encouraging students to improve. Saved replies can streamline the feedback process by allowing instructors to reuse common comments across issues and pull requests. The integration of these tools into the educational process exemplifies how GitHub can be leveraged to teach essential software development skills in a classroom setting.
