# Create a GitHub issue

Automatically create a GitHub issue on github.com. Open a new issue in a GitHub repository as the signed-in account, with a title and an optional Markdown body, through the repository's own New issue form. Returns the new issue's number and link, confirmed in the repository's issue list. The account needs permission to open issues there, and the repository must have issues turned on.
