<p>GitHub Discussions is an open forum for conversation among maintainers and the community for a repository or organization on GitHub. If you use or contribute to a project, you can start a discussion to make suggestions and engage with maintainers and community members about your plans, questions, ideas, and feedback. For more information, see "<a href="/en/discussions/collaborating-with-your-community-using-discussions/about-discussions" _originalHref="/discussions/collaborating-with-your-community-using-discussions/about-discussions">About discussions</a>."</p> <p>All discussions must be created in a category. For repository discussions, people with maintain or admin permissions to the repository define the categories for discussions in that repository. For organization discussions, people with maintain or admin permissions to the source repository define the categories for discussions in that organization. Each category has a format: open-ended discussion, question and answer, or announcement. Maintainers can use categories with the announcement format to share information, releases, or events. To keep discussions in these categories focused on important updates, only people with maintain or admin permissions can create new discussions, but anyone can comment and reply.</p> <p>Repository administrators and project maintainers can delete a discussion in that repository. Similarly, administrators and maintainers of the source repository for an organization's discussions can delete a discussion in that organization. For more information, see "<a href="/en/discussions/managing-discussions-for-your-community/managing-discussions#deleting-a-discussion" _originalHref="/discussions/managing-discussions-for-your-community/managing-discussions#deleting-a-discussion">Managing discussions</a>."</p> <p>GitHub will automatically recognize community members who contribute the most comments marked as answers to discussions with a question/answer format. These members appear in a list of the most helpful contributors to the project's discussions, if their privacy settings allow. For more information, see "<a href="/en/account-and-profile/setting-up-and-managing-your-github-profile/customizing-your-profile/setting-your-profile-to-private" _originalHref="/account-and-profile/setting-up-and-managing-your-github-profile/customizing-your-profile/setting-your-profile-to-private">Setting your profile to private</a>."</p> <p>As your project grows, you can grant higher access permissions to active members of your community. For more information, see "<a href="/en/discussions/guides/granting-higher-permissions-to-top-contributors" _originalHref="/discussions/guides/granting-higher-permissions-to-top-contributors">Granting higher permissions to top contributors</a>."</p> <p><picture><source srcset="/assets/cb-142419/mw-1440/images/help/discussions/most-helpful.webp 2x" type="image/webp"><img src="/assets/cb-142419/images/help/discussions/most-helpful.png" alt="Screenshot of the "Discussions" page in a repository. The "Most helpful" section is outlined in dark orange."></picture></p> <p>Community members can upvote discussions and top-level comments inside discussions to communicate with maintainers about ideas that matter to them. Project maintainers can then sort discussions and comments based on upvotes to gain insight into what community members value.</p> <p>For more information about participation in discussions, see "<a href="/en/discussions/collaborating-with-your-community-using-discussions/participating-in-a-discussion" _originalHref="/discussions/collaborating-with-your-community-using-discussions/participating-in-a-discussion">Participating in a discussion</a>."</p> <h2 id="prerequisites" tabindex="-1"><a class="heading-link" href="#prerequisites">Prerequisites<span class="heading-link-symbol" aria-hidden="true"></span></a></h2> <p>To collaborate with maintainers in repository discussions, a repository administrator or project maintainer must enable GitHub Discussions for the repository.

organization on GitHub. If you use or contribute to a project, you can start a discussion to make suggestions and engage with maintainers and community members about your plans, questions, ideas, and feedback.

For repository discussions, people with maintain or admin permissions to the repository define the categories for discussions in that repository. For organization discussions, people with maintain or admin permissions to the source repository define the categories for discussions in that organization. Each category has a format: open-ended discussion, question and answer, or announcement. Maintainers can use categories with the announcement format to share information, releases, or events. To keep discussions in these categories focused on important updates, only people with maintain or admin permissions can create new discussions, but anyone can comment and reply.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRepository administrators and project maintainers can delete a discussion in that repository. Similarly, administrators and maintainers of the source repository for an organization's discussions can delete a discussion in that organization.
