In this tutorial, you will learn how to create a poll in Github Issues. Github contains tons of repositories and codes. People add their repositories on GitHub so others can access them easily. Anyone having an issue using any repository or code can submit their issue on Github. But sometimes when you need people’s opinion, text-based comments are not ideal in that situation. Instead of that, creating a poll is much better. It saves time and gives precise results.
