How to search GitHub issues for the ones you're watching?

307 views Asked by At

How can we search/filter GitHub issues for the ones you've previously marked as 'watching'?

I can't spot any way to do it via the GUI, but perhaps there's some search parameter?

I took a guess and tried watching:true and currentUser(), but neither seemed to work

You would not get a web-based search filter for "watched": the Advanced search does not include anything related to "watched/watching".

Even the GitHub API does not include anything regarding watching at the issue level.
There are only API calls for listing watchers at the repository level.
