The new GitHub Issues – June 30th update

Changelog_Issues_Jun30_Cover

📊 Expanding access to charts for all plans

We are expanding our Insights capabilities to all plans! Charts help you visualize and track cycle velocity, current work status, and complex visualizations like Cumulative Flow Diagrams.

Starting today, all projects (beta) users can access custom current charts! Head over to the Insights tab for your projects to try it out and don't forget to share feedback!

We're also expanding access to time-based charts to allow organizations to visualize trends over time. Time-based charts are enabled for all Enterprise Cloud organizations and existing Team organizations with at least one project. Team organizations that have not used projects (beta) will be onboarded over the next couple of weeks.

Thank you for all of your feedback during the alpha and we hope you'll continue to share your thoughts with us on Discussions.

When using the GraphQL API, you can now filter Dependabot alerts by the scope of the dependency affected. The possible scopes are DEVELOPMENT or RUNTIME.

Dependency scope information is available for alerts opened on or after June 23, 2022, and can also be viewed in the Dependabot alerts UI as of last week.

For more information, see Dependabot alerts in the GraphQL API reference or learn more about Dependabot alerts in our documentation.

A dropdown has been added to the Fork button to help you quickly find your forks of a repository. This includes forks in your personal account and in organizations that you're a member of.

Example of the "your existing forks" dropdown

This feature was inspired by Refined GitHub – an impressive open source project maintained by @fregante. The feature was requested of GitHub through the GitHub Stars program.
