View list of issues I'm subscribed to, on the website

[jmm]

On the website I want to be able to view a list of issues that I'm subscribed to, but don't [necessarily] have any other involvement with. My current use case is that I'd like to be able to "favorite" issues for future reference (e.g. in case I want to comment later). It would be a bonus if I could filter to see results where I'm only subscribed and have no other involvement. Perhaps a dedicated favoriting feature would even make sense, but GitHub already has a subscription feature and I think I should be able to see what issues I'm subscribed to.

I contacted GitHub support about this and the first response was to use the involves qualifier. But that

is just a logical OR between the author, assignee, mentions and commenter qualifiers for the same user

and does not return issues that I'm only subscribed to. I explained that in my reply and their next reply acknowledged that it's not currently possible to view the list of subscribed issues via the website.

So you have to +1 comment an issue to find it in a query by becoming a commenter. Subscribe is not enough. +1 then.

Any progress with this issue? It is very annoying right now to manage subscribed issues.

[CarlyMuletzWolz]

It would be great to have this feature. It is a pain to think you are able to go back and find the issues you subscribed to and then not be able to find them. Or find them after searching through all the issues again....this feature needs to be added.

When I contacted GitHub support about this in October they told me this feature was already on their internal list before I asked, but no ETA on doing it. FWIW, I believe you can access this data via the API. Everyone who's commenting +1 here, you should also contact GitHub support to request this feature so they know people are interested.

@GeorgeSapkin thanks - done.

[CarlyMuletzWolz]

Contacted github support

[arp242]

Yes please :-)

[CarlyMuletzWolz]

To re-iterate @GeorgeSapkin "Everyone who's commenting +1 here, you should also contact GitHub support to request this feature so they know people are interested"

Alternate walkthrough

Use Github API Issues

Get https://api.github.com/issues?filter=subscribed&state=all with Authorization: Bearer [token] and grab html_url in JSON response.

[token] can be create here: https://github.com/settings/tokens

[obestwalter]

@zckrs thanks for the info, but it would still be nice to have this as a part of the GUI

[jmm]

@zckrs There's lots of things you can do with the API. This is about "on the website".

[zckrs]

@jmm I suggest an alternate walkthrough pending Github's feature. I will edit my comment for you.

@zckrs

https://api.github.com/issues?filter=all&state=all&sort=updated&since=2015-01-01T00%3A00%3A00Z

return nothing for me…

Update:
As https://developer.github.com/v3/issues/#list-issues shows:
List all issues across all the authenticated user’s visible repositories including owned repositories, member repositories, and organization repositories

[mryellow]

Now that's a solution to this issue, does create noise, but at least could find a thread again. I started using subscribe as a way to mark stuff I need to be aware of and reread later, only to then realise it's lost and I can't find the stuff again.

[jglick]

Does this duplicate #196?

[jmm]

@jglick That appears to be asking for it on a per-repo basis -- I want a global list of subscribed issues, although I agree that also being able to filter it per-repo as asked in #196 would be wanted. Not sure about lumping it in with involves: though.

[TPS]

The closest thing I've found is to find all watched items with any activity since I subscribed:

https://github.com/notifications?all=1

but this precise feature is needed sorely.…

[dmellstrom]

This is a no-brainer and thus probably under consideration already, but it would be nice if we could also sort the subscribed issues/PRs by time of most recent update.
I would actually prefer that as the default order.

[dwelle]

Well done. Also supporting search by title (or any of the filters supported in issues) would be nice, too!

[lucasbasquerotto]

[erebus2]

Yay!

[Thaina]

Still I wish to have the same sorting as this

Currently now it has only this

[LarinLive]

It is wonderful! Great thanks!

[danielkcz]

I kinda expected to have many subscriptions gathered over the years, but this is overwhelming :D

[CyberSinh]

Cool! Is there any way to hide/filter subscriptions related to closed issues? Thanks.

[sypets]

Great job!

Feedback:

For the status icons, it would be great to have a balloon pop up with explanations on mouse over. They are not as intuitive as one might hope.

[dentarg]

@FredyC is this count still 1000+ if you filter on "Manual"? mine went down to 942 then :-)

I'm getting the feeling there are several ways of having implicit subscriptions

[penguinairlines]

I agree, tooltips here would be useful, and easy to implement.

I'm so glad this has come to fruition.

[KenjiTakahashi]

Yay, finally :-)! Good stuff.

Alas, the "Least recently" sorting seems to be working funky 🤔.

[TPS]

@Thaina, @CyberSinh: #633, I think.

[TPS]

@becca #1526 points out an oversight in this feature, & #21 seems like an obvious extension.…

[becca]

@TPS right now the subscription list is limited to individual issue and pull request threads. if there are more people here who have a use case for subscribing to commit threads on a pull request then we could continue that discussion over in #1526.

regarding #21, 👍. i will move over to issue #21 with more questions and updates on this request.

[duzenko]

Sorry, am I blind or there's no way to show closed issues in the list as well?

[daboross]

As far as I can tell, that should "just work". Closed issues are shown by default in my list:

[danielkcz]

Please refrain from reporting bugs in this mega thread.

Maintainers: Might be a good idea to lock this...

[OliverJAsh]

Well done. Also supporting search by title (or any of the filters supported in issues) would be nice, too!

I just opened a new issue to track this separate feature request: #1589

Any news on this ? Thanks

[fernando-s97]

I'm missing the option to sort by most recently update too
