When submitting an internship through the GitHub issue template, you’ll need to provide specific information. This guide walks through each field and provides best practices.

​
Issue Template Fields

The New Internship issue template contains the following fields: What to provide: The direct URL to the internship application page Example: https://example.com/link/to/posting
Provide the most direct link possible to the application. Avoid linking to general career pages.

​
Company Name (Required)

What to provide: The official name of the company offering the internship Example: Google Tips:
  • Use the official company name as it appears on their website
  • Avoid abbreviations unless that’s the official name
  • For subsidiaries, include the parent company if relevant (e.g., “YouTube (Google)“)

​
Internship Title (Required)

What to provide: The exact title of the internship position Example: ML Software Intern Tips:
  • Copy the title exactly as it appears in the posting
  • If sponsorship status is “Other”, specify it in parentheses at the end (e.g., “Software Engineer Intern (STEM OPT only)”)
  • Keep it concise but descriptive

​
Location (Required)

What to provide: Where the internship is physically located or if it’s remote Example: San Francisco, CA | Austin, TX | Remote Format requirements:
  • Separate multiple locations with a pipe | character
  • Include “Remote” if a remote option is available
  • Use standard city and state/province abbreviations
  • For Canadian locations: Toronto, ON | Vancouver, BC
The internship must be located in the United States, Canada, or be Remote. Other countries are not accepted.

​
Season (Required)

What to provide: Select the season when the internship takes place Options:
  • Summer
  • Winter
  • Spring
  • Fall
Choose the season during which the intern will actually be working, not when applications are due.

​
Sponsorship Status (Required)

What to provide: Whether the company offers visa sponsorship Options:
  • Offers Sponsorship: Company explicitly states they sponsor visas
  • Does Not Offer Sponsorship: Company explicitly states no sponsorship
  • U.S. Citizenship is Required: Position requires U.S. citizenship
  • Other: Status doesn’t fit above categories
Select “Other” if:
  • The posting specifies work authorization requirements that don’t fit the other categories (e.g., “STEM OPT eligible”, “CPT required”, “Green Card holders only”)
  • The posting doesn’t specify sponsorship status
If you select “Other”, specify the actual status in parentheses at the end of the Internship Title.

​
Application Status (Required)

What to provide: Whether the position is currently accepting applications Options:
  • Yes
  • No
When to select “No”:
  • Applications haven’t opened yet but the posting is published
  • The posting says “Check back later”

​
Email Address (Optional)

What to provide: The email associated with your GitHub account Why provide it:
  • Your contribution will be attributed to you in the git commit
  • Without it, the commit will be made by actions@github.com
Your email will only be used for git attribution. It won’t be shared or used for any other purpose.

​
Extra Notes (Optional)

What to provide: Additional context that might help reviewers Examples:
  • “This is a newly funded startup in the VR space”
  • “Application requires completion of coding challenge”
  • “Rolling admission - closes when filled”
Tips:
  • This information won’t appear in the README
  • Use it to provide context that validates your submission
  • Mention if the role is unique or might seem questionable

​
One Submission Per Position

Important: Make a new submission for each unique position, even if they are for the same company.
If a company has multiple internship postings, submit each one separately: Good:
  • Issue 1: Google - Software Engineering Intern
  • Issue 2: Google - Machine Learning Intern
  • Issue 3: Google - Site Reliability Engineering Intern
Bad:
  • Single issue listing all three Google positions
