roadmap

This repository is GitHub's public product roadmap, a place where GitHub communicates what features and improvements it is planning to build, what stage each item is in, and roughly when it expects to release them. It is not a code project. It is a collection of issues that serve as a structured announcement board.

Each roadmap item is an issue with labels describing its release phase, the product area it belongs to, the specific feature or product involved, which GitHub plans or subscription tiers it applies to, and whether it will be available on the cloud version of GitHub, the self-hosted server version, or both.

Release phases have defined meanings. Preview means the feature is available in some form but without formal support guarantees. GA, short for generally available, means it is ready for production use with support. Items marked in design or exploring are earlier stage, meaning GitHub has decided to work on them or is gathering feedback, but no release date is set yet.

The roadmap is organized by quarter on a project board, so you can see roughly which features are expected in the near term versus further out. GitHub notes that dates are subject to change, particularly for items further out on the timeline, and the roadmap does not represent a binding commitment to ship anything by a specific date.

The repository exists to give GitHub users and customers visibility into what is coming and a place to provide feedback through linked discussions. Existing issues in the repository are read-only, so the primary interaction is reading the roadmap and participating in the separate feedback discussions rather than commenting directly on issues.
