Issues are typically used to track bugs or features, but really, issues can be used for just about any task you want to track. It could be your to-do list or a list of goals you want to accomplish. The issue remains open while it’s yet to be complete, and then you can close the issue once it’s been taken care of.

Repository > Issues > New Issue > Title: “Add a README file”
.                                                           Comment: Pertaining adding a README file – written in markdown or plain text.

Using Markdown

Using markdown in comments and readme files on GitHub can be a very efficient way to explain and elaborate on the progress of your project.

Markdown Example:

## TODO 
* Courses left to complete the Tree house Python Track

*[] Python Basics
*[] Python Collection
*[] Object Oriented Python
