How do I close/complete milestones on GitHub projects? I've already three milestones that are "overdue" but they are completed already. I simply don't know how to mark them "completed" - can anyone help me?

I already tried to Google this issue, and browsed the GitHub help pages, but couldn't find any information on using milestones.

Update: this is an old answer for an old question. The nowerdays correct answer is the one by seeker.

Milestones now must be closed manually. --- A.J. Brown

Simply creating and closing an issue for a milestone, will mark the milestone completed:

When all issues of the milestone are closed, the milestone should be closed as well.
