inbox-search-issues

# Search GitHub Issues and PRs Use `gh` CLI to search for issues and PRs beyond notifications. This covers your full "issues inbox" — assigned work, triage queue, open PRs, and custom queries. ## My assigned issues ``` gh api /search/issues --jq '.items[] | {number, title, repo: .repository_url, state, labels: [.labels[].name], updated_at, html_url}' -f q='assignee:@me is:open is:issue sort:updated-desc' ``` ## My open PRs ``` gh api /search/issues --jq '.items[] | {number, title, repo: .repository_url, state, draft: .draft, updated_at, html_url}' -f q='author:@me is:open is:pr sort:updated-desc' ``` ## PRs waiting for my review ``` gh api /search/issues --jq '.items[] | {number, title, repo: .repository_url, state, updated_at, html_url}' -f q='review-requested:@me is:open is:pr sort:updated-desc' ``` ## Issues needing triage (no type label) This depends on the repo's label conventions. Common pattern — issues with no `bug`, `feature-request`, or `enhancement` label: ``` gh api /search/issues --jq '.items[] | {number, title, labels: [.labels[].name], updated_at, html_url}' -f q='assignee:@me is:open is:issue -label:bug -label:feature-request -label:enhancement sort:updated-desc repo:{owner}/{repo}' ``` Replace `{owner}/{repo}` with the target repository. ## Issues in a specific repo ``` gh api /search/issues --jq '.items[] | {number, title, state, labels: [.labels[].name], updated_at, html_url}' -f q='is:open is:issue repo:{owner}/{repo} sort:updated-desc' ``` ## Stale issues (no activity in 30 days) ``` gh api /search/issues --jq '.items[] | {number, title, updated_at, html_url}' -f q='assignee:@me is:open is:issue sort:updated-asc updated:<{30_days_ago_date}' ``` Replace `{30_days_ago_date}` with a date like `2026-01-24`. ## Issues by milestone ``` gh api /search/issues --jq '.items[] | {number, title, state, labels: [.labels[].name], html_url}' -f q='is:open milestone:"{milestone}" repo:{owner}/{repo}' ``` ## Custom query The GitHub search syntax supports: - `assignee:@me`, `author:@me`, `mentions:@me` - `is:open`, `is:closed`, `is:issue`, `is:pr` - `label:bug`, `-label:duplicate` - `repo:owner/repo`, `org:microsoft` - `review-requested:@me`, `reviewed-by:@me` - `sort:updated-desc`, `sort:created-desc` - `updated:>2026-01-01` (date filters) ``` gh api /search/issues --jq '.items[] | {number, title, state, labels: [.labels[].name], updated_at, html_url}' -f q='{query}' ``` ## Rules - Run each search as a separate terminal invocation - NEVER pipe to `jq` or other programs — use `--jq` - NEVER add `2>/dev/null` or redirects
