Listing GitHub Issues

Purpose

Provides a standard way to retrieve a list of issues from a repository using the

gh issue list

command.

1. Safety & Verification

Repository Context: Ensure you are in a git repository or use the
```
-R owner/repo
```
flag.
JSON Output: Always prefer
```
--json
```
for structured data.

2. Common Workflows

Workflow: List Open Issues

Retrieves the most recent open issues with relevant metadata.

Command:

gh issue list --state open --json number,title,labels,updatedAt

Workflow: Filter by Label

Lists issues that have specific labels.

Command:

gh issue list --label "bug,help wanted" --json number,title,state

Workflow: Advanced Search for Sub-issues

Filters issues based on their hierarchical status.

Command:

# List all issues that have sub-issues
gh issue list --search "has:sub-issue" --json number,title

# List all issues that do NOT have a parent (top-level issues)
gh issue list --search "no:parent-issue" --json number,title

3. Output Handling

Use

jq

to extract specific values if needed for further automation.

Example:

gh issue list --state open --json number --jq '.[].number'
