Is there any way to show all GitHub tickets without an assignee?
@LyndenShields's answer doesn't seem to work anymore.
At this date (March 16, 2015), the way to search for issues that have no assignee is to use the no:
qualifier in the issues Filter field:
no:assignee
Alternatively, you could use the following query string to achieve the same:
https://github.com/<username>/<repo>/issues?q=no%3Aassignee
EDIT: Note that I could not make it work if I only had one qualifier specified (ie. you may need to add another one and have it like no:assignee is:open
).
EDIT #2 (March 16, 2016): the above edit is not accurate anymore (hence the strikethrough); GitHub now accepts search queries with one qualifier only.
EDIT #3 (July 26, 2017): removed the %01
from the end of the URL - it basically is an unused character, but I believe GitHub interpreted it as a space. Indeed, when you use it this way, GitHub will automatically add a space, I guess to make sure other qualifiers can easily be added. Strangely, though, it will add a %20
to the end of the URL today, but again, you can simply omit that part. The %3A
between the words no
and assignee
is the character code for Colon
. See a full list here.
EDIT #4 (June 30, 2020): this is now possible via the UI: simply go to your issues list (https://github.com/<username>/<repo>/issues
) then choose Assigned to nobody
from the Assignee dropdown:
Go to the issues list and show issues assigned to yourself. Look in the URL bar and change where it has your username to none
just after 'assigned/' and press enter. The UI will look the same but the list will have only unassigned issues.
e.g.:
https://github.com/<username>/<repo>/issues/assigned/none
One workaround would be to compare:
- the list of issues
- with the list of issue assigned to anyone
(the difference being the list of issues not yet assigned)
See GitHub V3 Api "list-issues-for-a-repository" section:
assignee
String User login
none
: for Issues with no assigned User.*
: for Issues with any assigned User.
