## How to write a good GitHub Issue
First and foremost, search to make sure that a similar issue doesn't already exist.
Each new issue should be discrete.
Use an issue template if available, otherwise **Open a blank issue**.
Provide a clear and concise title that describes the issue in a way that is easy to understand and allows us to reference the issue easily.
A user story is a useful format for writing issues.
Provide a detailed explanation of the issue. The type of issue (bug, feature request, or other issue) will dictate the elements to include in your description (see more below).
