Stream queries
Stream allows you to specify flexible queries. Here are some of the most commonly used queries.
Open issues
You can use is:open
to create a Stream to view issues in an open (unclosed or unmerged) state. For example, to view an open issue in the nodejs/node
repository, you can create a Stream with the following query
repo:nodejs/node is:open is:issue
However, Jasper does not recommend using is:open
to create a Stream because Jasper will not be able to detect when the Stream is closed from open to closed.
So when using is:open
, you should use the Filter Stream instead of the regular Stream. Filter Stream can be used to apply custom filters to a normal Stream. In the previous example, this would look like
Stream
repo:nodejs/node is:issue
Filter Stream
is:open

Team mentioned issues
To view Team mentioned issues, use team:ORGNAME/TEAMNAME
. For example, to view issues where @jekyll/owners
are mentioned, create a Stream with a query like this
team:@jekyll/owners
GitHub Docs: Search by team mention
User involved issues
To view issues involving a particular user, use the involves:USERNAME
. For example, to see the issues involving a defunkt
or jlord
, create a Stream with a query like this
involves:defunkt involves:jlord
GitHub Docs: Search by a user that's involved in an issue or pull request
Repository and organization issues
To view issues in a specific repository, use repo:USERNAME/REPOSITORY
. For example, to view issues in the nodejs/node
or electron/electron
repositories, you would create a Stream with a query like this
repo:nodejs/node repo:electron/electron
To view a specific Organization issue, use org:ORGNAME
. For example, to view issues of the nodejs
or electron
Organization, you can create a Stream with a query like this
org:nodejs org:electron
GitHub Docs: Search within a user's or organization's repositories
Issues with milestones and labels
You can view issues with a specific milestone by using milestone:MILESTONE_NAME
. For example, to see an issue with a milestone of 13.0.0
or 14.0.0
in the nodejs/node
repository, create a Stream with a query like this
repo:nodejs/node milestone:13.0.0 milestone14.0.0
You can view issues labeled with a specific label using label:LABEL_NAME
. For example, to view an issue labeled build
and zlib
in the nodejs/node
repository, create a Stream with the following query
repo:nodejs/node label:build label:zlib
GitHub Docs: Search by milestone, Search by label
Issues containing the keywords
To view issues containing specific keywords, use the KEYWORD
. For example, to see issues containing the octocat
and github
, create a Stream with the following query
octocat github
GitHub Docs: Limitations on query length, Exclude certain results
Exclusionary specification
You can use -QUALIFIER
to exclude a specific repository, label or etc . For example, to view issues in the nodejs
organizaton that do not contain a nodejs/node
repository and a bug
label, you can create a Stream with a query like this
org:nodejs -repo:nodejs/node -label:bug
GitHub Docs: Exclude certain results
