We’ve made some changes to project automation that will provide you with more control when managing issues and pull requests in a project. Previously, issue and pull request cards behaved the same when they were added and moved across the board. Now you can specify different actions for them, like creating separate columns for in progress or reopened issues and pull requests.

Template updates

Simplify the process of managing bugs with the new “Bug triage” project board template. It features “To do”, “High priority”, “Low priority,” and “Closed” columns for better bug tracking.

The “Automated kanban” template has also been updated for automated workflows and now places newly-added pull requests to the “In progress” column. New issues will still appear in the “To do” column.

Changing your settings

With the feature flag enabled, anyone with write access can manually configure new issue and pull request automation options on existing projects.

To configure these settings in existing projects, click Manage Automation on the columns you wish to update. For new projects, access the changes by setting up a project with the “Automated kanban” template, or by clicking Manage Automation on any columns you manually create.

For the fourth year running, we’re kicking off Pride Month with limited-edition GitHub Pride and Trans Pride Shirts that help you show some pride and support the work of LGBTQ organizations while you do it.

Get your new favorite tee while you can. They’ll only be in the GitHub Shop until September 30.

Shop the shirts

Our new shirt design adds a little extra :heart: to your sleeve with retro ‘80s-inspired artwork in colors representing the pride and trans pride flags. The best part: For every shirt you buy, we’ll donate proceeds to some inspiring groups who are helping the LGBTQ community—find more information about their work below.

Last month, we let you know of some updates to our Privacy Statement and Terms of Service and asked for help from our community. Thanks to everyone who commented and contributed feedback in our Site Policy repository, the updated Privacy Statement, Terms of Service, and Corporate Terms of Service are now in effect!

The updates

• Privacy Statement: As we mentioned in our blog post last month, we are proud to announce that our data protection practices are compliant with the GDPR for all our users, no matter where you live. This includes GitHub and our products and services like GitHub Pages, Atom, and Electron. Please check out the updated Privacy Statement or the Site Policy pull request to see what’s changed
• Updates to our Terms of Service and other policies: We made some changes to our Terms of Service and a few other policies. If you want to see the changes to our Terms of Services or Corporate Terms of Service, check out the pull requests or go to our Site Policy directory for the live policies.

What this means for you

A fresh release of our Electron-based Desktop app is here! GitHub Desktop 1.2 ships with new features and enhancements that help you stay up-to-date with your coworkers’ changes and keep you in sync with your team.

Compare branches

Now you can compare your branch to any other branch in the repository, like your master or base branch, and merge that work into your current branch—and there’s more to come.

Multi-file select

In previous versions of GitHub Desktop, you could either perform actions, like discarding changes, on one file at a time or all files at once. Now you can select multiple files to perform an action on by holding down Shift or Command/Ctrl and clicking on the files you want selected.

Community involvement

GitHub Desktop is open source. Thanks to our community, we’ve merged 26 contributions from 18 different contributors. Since launching 1.1 in February, we’ve fixed bugs, improved existing features, and extended GitHub Desktop. In fact, our multi-file select feature started as a pull request from our community :heart:. We’d love to have you join us and contribute to future versions of Desktop.
