You can use tasklists to break the work for an issue or pull request into smaller tasks, then track the full set of work to completion.
Who can use this feature?Markdown can be used in the GitHub web interface.
About tasklistsImportant
Tasklists are retired. You can read more about this on the GitHub Blog.
You can use sub-issues as the replacement for tasklist blocks. Sub-issues provide a dedicated section within each issue, making it easier to track related work without relying on Markdown. For more information about sub-issues, see Adding sub-issues.
A tasklist is a set of tasks that each render on a separate line with a clickable checkbox. You can select or deselect the checkboxes to mark the tasks as complete or incomplete.
You can use Markdown to create a tasklist in any comment on GitHub. If you reference an issue, pull request, or discussion in a tasklist, the reference will unfurl to show the title and state.
About issue tasklistsIf you add a tasklist to the body of an issue, the list has added functionality.
To create a task list, preface list items with a hyphen and space followed by [ ]
. To mark a task as complete, use [x]

Note
You cannot create tasklist items within closed issues or issues with linked pull requests.
Reordering tasksYou can reorder the items in a tasklist. First, click or hover to the left of a task's checkbox until a grid of six dots appears. Then, drag and drop the grid to move the task to a new location.
You can reorder tasks across different lists in the same comment, but you cannot reorder tasks across different comments.
Converting tasks into issuesYou can also convert tasks into issues. First, hover over one of the items in your tasklist and then click .
Navigating tracked issuesAny issues that are referenced in a tasklist specify that they are tracked by the issue that contains the tasklist. To navigate to the tracking issue from the tracked issue, click on the tracking issue number in the Tracked by section next to the issue status.
