In a GitHub project, how to list all issues that are assigned?
I mean assigned to anyone, not just issues assigned to me.

  • Preferably from the oldest to the newest.
  • Preferably as a web interface so that I can open the hyperlinks to unassign if appropriate.

Context

My GitHub project liberally assigns issues to newcomers, allowing them to quickly start working on an issue while avoiding duplicating work.

Problem: Half of the newcomers silently disappear without fixing the issue, letting the issue assigned and thus hidden from other contributors looking for an unassigned one.

Start first with using gh issue list

gh issue list --assignee='*'

When listing repository issues, the "*" for issues assigned to any user.

The OP Nicolas Raoul confirms in the comments:

Based on that I now use assignee:* sort:updated-asc in GitHub.com's web UI search bar, it works great!
Example:

https://github.com/commons-app/apps-android-commons/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+assignee%3A*+sort%3Aupdated-asc
