Issues

Queries

GitHub issue task repositories support creating queries that filter by the following fields:

Note that when multiple filters are used in the same query the returned issues match all of the filters.

Gists

Creating

Gists can be created by selecting text in a editor or files in an explorer and selecting the Create Gist context menu. A Gist will be created in a background job and a notification popup will display after the Gist has been created.
