Archiving a project board on GitHub is a great way to keep your workspace clean and organized once a project is completed.
This ensures that completed tasks are saved, but no longer clutter your active work.
In this step-by-step guide, let's walk you through how to easily archive a project board with a hands-on demo.
Steps to follow:
1. Navigate to the project board settings or click on the 'Project' option.
2. Select 'Close project' from the dropdown menu.
3. To reopen a closed project, go to project settings and click 'Reopen'.
Another way is to delete or close a project from the project settings-
1. Go to 'Settings'.
2. Select 'Project settings'.
3. Scroll down to the 'Danger Zone'.
4. Click 'Close' or 'Reopen' the project.
5. To delete the project, click 'Delete project'.
6. A confirmation pop-up will appear when clicked.
7. Type the 'Project Name' and click the button 'I understand the consequences, delete this project'.
That's it!
You’ve successfully closed or deleted a project in GitHub.
Now that you’ve successfully archived your project board, your workspace stays neat, and you can always reopen or reference the project if needed.
Archiving helps keep your current projects in focus without losing access to completed work.
