While many projects these days choose to take reports of issues alongside where their code is hosted, some prefer to use an open source or third-party solution, such as Bugzilla or Trac. Wherever a project takes reports of issues and discusses them, making it very clear where community members should report current issues makes it an easier experience for them. As a side benefit, it lowers costs for maintainers by reducing the amount of redirection they need to do.

GitHub

Originally founded as a project to simplify sharing code, GitHub has grown into an application used by over a million people to store over two million code repositories, making GitHub the largest code host in the world.
Pricing:
- Open Source
Open source is more accessible to new contributors than ever before, in part due to the user experience improvements pushed forward by platforms such as BitBucket, GitHub, and GitLab. They provide a way to discover new repositories and view their source. This means that you can browse and understand a project before becoming deeply invested. It has the added benefit for people with resource constraints, such as disk space or network bandwidth, because you no longer have to clone an entire repository (copy the files to your computer) in order to view its contents.
