Filtering issues and pull requests by milestone

Issues and pull requests can be filtered based on the milestone they're associated with. Once you've associated an issue or pull request with a milestone, you can find items based on their milestones. Within a milestone, you can prioritize issues and pull requests.

Tips:

  • If you'd rather filter issues and pull requests using the Search bar, you can use the milestone search syntax. For a milestone called My Milestone, the search syntax would be: milestone:"My Milestone".
  • To clear your filter selection, click Clear current search query, filters, and sorts.
  • You can also filter issues or pull requests using the GitHub CLI. For more information, see "gh issue list" or "gh pr list" in the GitHub CLI documentation.
  1. On GitHub.com, navigate to the main page of the repository.
