My Work

My Work answers “what on GitHub needs me?”: the open issues and pull requests, in every repository, where:

• your review is requested,
• you are assigned,
• you opened the pull request,
• you opened the issue,
• you are mentioned.

They come in that order, most recently updated first within each, and each is listed once, under the first reason that applies: a pull request you are asked to review and also mentioned in is a review request. Archived repositories are left out.

Open it by choosing My Work in the repository list, after Notifications, with Ctrl+Shift+M (Cmd+Shift+M on a Mac), or from View → View Mode → My Work. It takes five searches, so a few seconds; R asks again. GitHub allows 30 searches a minute, so if you refresh a lot, one kind may fail to load; the status bar names it and the rest still show. The status bar adds it up, for example “My Work — 36 open: 14 review requested, 15 assigned, 7 your pull request”. Each kind lists up to 100; a kind with more is marked with a +, and a search (Ctrl+Shift+F) with the same terms finds the rest.

Each row reads why it is on the list, whether it is an issue or a pull request, its number, title, repository and when it last changed. The details panel adds the description.
