A few of our favorite 2018 shipsSometimes the smallest ships have the biggest impact. With 2018 coming to a close, we’re providing a round-up of what we shipped and what you may have missed, both big and small. We didn’t include every launch of the year (that would make for a very long read), but we did recap this year’s most loved ships.CollaborationThe developer community is at the heart of GitHub. It’s where new developers get started, where experienced developers expand their knowledge, and where all developers work together. As the number of software developers worldwide continues to increase, the opportunities for collaboration increase as well. We strive to build experiences that make it as easy and intuitive as possible for all developers to do their best work. Here are some ships that make collaboration on GitHub even better:Suggested changes: Quickly make and incorporate suggestions, like fixing typos or changing code, during the pull request review process.Watch releases: Limit repository notifications exclusively to releases. Receive notifications when new releases are published in a repository without receiving notifications about other updates and conversations.Move issues from one repo to another: Repository admins can move issues across repositories and place them where they belong.Related issues: When you create a new issue, you’ll see a list of all related issues in your repository, so you can avoid opening a duplicate issue.Commit co-authors: See who has contributed to every commit, regardless of how many contributors there are. Every author gets attribution in the pull request and in their contribution graph.Hovercards: Hover over a contributor’s avatar to get an overview of their profile, what teams they belong to in your organization, if they are a code owner, if they’re making their very first pull request, and more.New tools for open source maintainers: We released a few new tools in 2018 to make the lives of open source maintainers a little easier.Saved replies keyboard shortcuts: It’s now even easier to save replies with keyboard shortcuts.Label improvements: Now you can add emojis when words just aren’t enough, add descriptions for more context, search through your labels, and preview how your label will look while editing.Profile activity overview: The new activity feed allows you to easily show off contributions you make. In addition to filtering your contributions by calendar year, you can now filter by organization and see where you contributed over your time on GitHub.Save a notification for later: Bookmark any notification to move it into a prioritized list.Issue and pull request templates: Issue templates better support automation and standardization.
