Track code scanning alerts in GitHub Issues using task lists (beta)

Code scanning alerts now integrate with GitHub Issues task lists to make it easy to prioritize and track your alerts with all your development work.

You can use the task list feature in markdown to track a code scanning alert in an issue. When you add a code scanning alert to a task list in an issue, a "tracked in" pill will show on the corresponding alert page. The code scanning alerts page also shows which alerts are tracked in issues.

You can also create a new issue from a code scanning alert, which automatically adds the code scanning alert to a task list in the new issue.
