Issues list
The issues list is a repository's index of every issue: bugs, tasks, feature requests, and any other tracked work. It opens filtered to the open issues and gives you a toolbar to narrow the list by state, type, priority, label, milestone, status, and more, a search box for free text, and a New issue button for adding one. You can view the issues as a flat list or as a threaded tree that groups them by their parent relationships, and you can save a filter you use often so it is one click away.
Where to find it
- URL:
gitvetrix.com/{owner}/{repo}/issues - Navigation: Open a repository and select the Issues tab.
The list shows the open issues first. Your current filters and search term are kept in the page address, so you can bookmark or share a filtered view and it opens the same way.
Filter by state
A three-way toggle at the top-left of the toolbar sets which issues appear:
- Open — issues that are still open. This is the default.
- Closed — issues that have been closed.
- All — open and closed issues together.
Narrow the list with filters
Use the dropdowns in the toolbar to narrow the list. You can combine as many as you like; the list updates as you change each one, and each active filter also appears as a chip below the toolbar (see Manage active filters).
- Filter by type — choose an issue type, such as Epic, Story, Task, or Bug. Select All types to clear it. This dropdown appears when the repository defines issue types.
- Filter by priority — choose Critical, High, Medium, Low, or None. Select All priorities to clear it.
- Filter by label — choose one of the repository's labels. Select All labels to clear it.
- Filter by milestone — choose a milestone. Select All milestones to clear it.
- Filter by status — choose a workflow status: Queued, In Progress, Blocked, Completed, or Canceled. Select All statuses to clear it.
- Filter by component — choose a component. Select All components to clear it. This dropdown appears when the repository defines components.
- Filter by fix version — choose a version the issue is slated to be fixed in. Select All versions to clear it. This dropdown appears when the repository has active versions.
- Filter by workflow state category — choose To Do, In Progress, or Done. Select All categories to clear it.
Search the issues
- Type a term into the Search issues… box in the toolbar.
- The list updates as you type; there is no need to press Enter.
The helper text under the box reads Searching within this repository, a reminder that this search covers only the current repository's issues. To search across every repository at once, use the global search instead (see Related pages).
Manage active filters
Every filter and search term you apply appears as a chip in a row below the toolbar:
- Each chip names the filter and its value, for example Priority: high or Search: crash.
- Select the ✕ on a chip to remove that one filter.
- Select Clear all to reset the list back to the open issues.
Save a filter
Once you have applied at least one filter, a Save filter button appears in the toolbar so you can keep the current combination for later.
- Set up the filters and search term you want.
- Select Save filter.
- In the Save current filter dialog, type a Name.
- Select Save. Select Cancel to close without saving.
A name is required, and it must not match a filter you have already saved. Saved filters appear in the sidebar on the left of the list.
Use saved filters from the sidebar
The Saved filters sidebar sits to the left of the list and can be collapsed or expanded with the chevron control:
- Select a saved filter's name to apply it to the list.
- Filters you saved for this repository are listed first; filters you saved for use everywhere appear under All repositories.
- Open the ⋮ menu next to a filter to Rename or Delete it.
- The All my filters → link opens the full list of every filter you have saved.
When there are none, the sidebar reads No saved filters yet — apply a filter and save it.
Switch between list and threaded views
A view toggle on the right of the toolbar's top row sets how the issues are arranged. Both views respect all of your active filters.
- List view — a flat list of matching issues, most recently updated first. This is the default.
- Threaded view — the same issues grouped into an Epic → Story → Task tree so you can read a set of work by its parent-and-child relationships. When a filter hides a parent but keeps one of its children, the child appears under a (parent hidden by filter) marker.
Read an issue row
In list view, each row is selectable and opens the issue. A row shows:
- A colored dot on the left indicating whether the issue is Open or Closed.
- The issue's type badge, an Open or Closed badge, and a priority badge when the issue has a priority other than None.
- The issue's identifier and its title, which links to the issue.
- A status badge (for example In Progress) and a workflow state badge when set.
- A link icon with a number when the issue is linked to other issues.
- Its labels, shown as colored chips on their own line.
- Who opened the issue, its parent issue when it is a child, any components, and its milestone.
- The people assigned to it, a comment count when it has comments, and when it was last updated.
Add an issue
Select New issue at the top-right of the toolbar to open the new-issue form. The New issue button appears only when you have permission to create issues in the repository.
Move between pages
The list shows 25 issues per page. When there are more, a pager appears below the list:
- A summary reads, for example, 1–25 of 120, and Page 1 of 5.
- Use the Previous page and Next page arrows to move between pages.
Empty states
- When no issues match your filters, the list reads No issues match the current filter and suggests clearing or broadening a filter.
- When the repository has no issues in the selected state at all, the list reads No issues (or No open / No closed issues) and invites you to create one.
