Introduction to Issue Templates

Issue templates are pre-defined structures that help standardize the information included in issue reports. They serve as a guide for users to provide consistent and relevant details when reporting an issue, making it easier for developers and maintainers to understand, reproduce, and resolve the problem efficiently.

By following a specific template, users can ensure that essential information is included in their issue reports, such as a clear description of the problem, steps to reproduce it, and any additional context or examples that may be relevant. This consistency in reporting enhances communication between users and project maintainers, enabling faster issue resolution and a better overall user experience.
