Put issues from many GitHub repos on one Projects v2 board, filter by repo and bulk edit across them: what GitHub does, and what Gitsu adds.
GitHub Projects vs GitHub Issues
GitHub Issues track one piece of work in a repo. GitHub Projects plan many issues with fields, views and automation. What lives where, with limits.
Is GitHub Projects free for private repos? Yes
Yes: GitHub Projects costs nothing on GitHub Free, private repos included. The 50,000-item limit, who sees private issues on a board, and what paid plans add.
