In the world of software development, efficiency, effective planning, and tracking are critical elements that dictate the success or the failure of a project. In a bid to optimize these processes, GitHub Projects has been made generally available to developer teams. This tool serves as a cog in the wheel that connects planning to the work that is being executed in your GitHub repository. Best of all, the project command for the “gh” Command Line Interface (CLI) is officially available. Now, developers can take full advantage of GitHub Projects’ improved features to significantly enhance their efficiency.
A deep dive into GitHub Projects brings us to its primary components: Project, Project field(s), and Project item(s). In simple terms, a Project works as an organizational unit that houses the overall plan of your software development process. The Project field(s) serve as the unique identifiers for each project, allowing developers to create, delete, or manage projects efficiently. Project items, on the other hand, represent your individual tasks or steps in your project. They usher in a high level of clarity and granularity to your project, improving tracking and collaboration.
GitHub also recently introduced new subcommands that relate to each component. For instance, you can now use the project view subcommand to view details of a project. Similarly, the project create will help you create a new project, while the project field add lets you add a new field to your project. Each of these subcommands is designed to make developers’ lives easier and their workflows more streamlined.
A consistent and safe use of GitHub Projects also necessitates performing permission checks. This will ensure only authorized users are given access to manipulate project details. To check the current scopes, you can use the gh auth scopes command in the terminal. If you need to add the project scope, use the gh auth login --scopes read:org,read:user,repo,write:discussion,write:org,delete_repo,admin:org,admin:public_key,admin:org_hook,admin:repo_hook,admin:actions,user:email command. Remember to also make a token with the project scope available in GitHub Actions for seamless integration.
Running project commands presents an array of benefits like the capacity to access any project from the terminal, making it an ideal fit for remote teams or individual developers. Whether you are checking the progress of an ongoing project using the project progress command or exploring the public roadmap project for insights, GitHub Projects provides you with the tools that can hone your skills and speed up development time.

Up until working with Casey, we had only had poor to mediocre experiences outsourcing work to agencies. Casey & the team at CJ&CO are the exception to the rule.
Communication was beyond great, his understanding of our vision was phenomenal, and instead of needing babysitting like the other agencies we worked with, he was not only completely dependable but also gave us sound suggestions on how to get better results, at the risk of us not needing him for the initial job we requested (absolute gem).
This has truly been the first time we worked with someone outside of our business that quickly grasped our vision, and that I could completely forget about and would still deliver above expectations.
I honestly can't wait to work in many more projects together!
