GitHub now has Issue Attachments

Oh, by the way, people were asking on Twitter, so we just enabled support for the HTML5 clipboard API. If you're using Chrome, you can now just paste an image into the comment box to upload it!<p>Very handy with Mac OS X screenshot shortcuts that copy straight to the clipboard.

Finally! This is a fantastic Christmas present. Thanks friends at GitHub!

With Skitch completely screwing their latest release, hosting issue related files (screenshots, doodles...) was painful to say the least. Dropbox did an ok job at it but did not let me embed pictures in the thread (the file URLs change randomly).<p>Pretty awesome that the guys at Github got that covered.

Can anyone advise from experience how long this may take to filter through to Github:Enterprise?

I've been trying to get our QA team to switch over from Bugzilla to GitHub for months and their only hold-out was that you couldn't add images. FINALLY! This is awesome!

So, it's images only? I can't find any mention of what file types are supported.

Glad to see they're working on parts of the product that affect developers again.<p>Now, if they'd add sortable ticket priorities, fix the janky UI problems (like the thing where you can get stuck in the useless view where tags aren't selectable), and add other basic features like ticket up-voting and support for teams, it might become a genuinely useful tool for non-toy projects.

This is great. I was just complaining about this today in the other GH thread. What a nice surprise!

This needs to be standard for every image uploader, I can't express how useful this is.<p>It's one of the main reasons we've switched from Acunote to Trello.

I would love to hear why the github team waited so long to bring this feature into existence? I am sure there is a good reason (or maybe not) but it would be awesome if a member of the team would stop by and post the details.

Finally. Sharing tickets without an image was often inefficient.<p>'Cloud', an App, has been a decent workaround for this problem but in-ticket file uploads is better yet.

This goes towards the space allotment given to each user right? If so, I'm going to limit the number of attachments I use. No memes for you.

I am sure the Api supported this earlier - in fact I wrote a wrapper script for it on lifeisstillgood/githubkoolaid<p>This I guess is the UI release

Love it. Now all you need is something to crawl cloud app links and convert those.

I read that as github now has attachement issues.<p>I'll take the downvotes. it was worth it

What was wrong with ![Alt text](<a href="http://imgur/path" rel="nofollow">http://imgur/path</a>)?<p>Seemed like the perfect balance between, hard enough that you don't throw everything on there and eat up space, but useable enough that it works fine when you need it.

great, it's indeed really useful :D I think this should be default for every other text editor on web or (desktop/mac with special shortcuts) :P<p>Damn useful, I have to say. Thanks our friends :)

Cool. I'd also love labels for PR-generated issues.
