When we started with 5–6–7…10 node.js services for a single organization, we
faced the issue on how to manage issues and pull requests. Not always is there a
notification of new issues or PRs. There are external services like ZenHub and
Waffle.io to handle this, but it’s much easier on GitHub directly, by “hacking”
GitHub Issues. Here are some examples for the “Node.js” organisation (replace
nodejs with your organisation name):
Show all open issues for the whole organisation/project
- is: open
- is: issue
- user: nodejs
- archived: false
- sort: updated-desc
https://github.com/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+archived%3Afalse+user%3Anodejs+sort%3Aupdated-desc
Show all open Pull Requests for the whole organisation/project
- is: open
- is: pr
- archived: false
- user: nodejs
- sort: updated-desc
https://github.com/pulls?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Apr+archived%3Afalse+user%3Anodejs+sort%3Aupdated-desc+
Open these links together with your most important, project related websites (and GitHub Notifications), and (in Safari) click “Bookmarks - Add Bookmarks for These Tabs” and save in your Favorites. When you click on the bookmark, all tabs will open the same time and you get a great overview of your project, open issues, PRs and what’s going on!
If you have any questions or comments, please reach out on Twitter or start a discussion on GitHub.
