How I used GitHub Projects to move my house

on YouTube ↗57m

" summary

Demonstrates using GitHub Projects (backed by GitHub Issues) to plan a house move by creating a private repository "moving house", converting 52 tasks into issues, adding labels, bulk-assigning items, inviting a collaborator (spouse), and using timeline and board views plus milestones to schedule dates; built automations and an auto-task flow so closing an issue ticks its checklist, exported the project as a TSV for Excel, and reports the workflow succeeds — move planned, tracked and completed.
