GitHub PR Quick Filters

About

GitHub PR Quick Filters

Stop retyping the same search queries every time you open a Pull Requests page. GitHub PR Quick Filters (GHQF) adds a small Quick filters dropdown next to the Labels and Milestones buttons on any repository's
Pull Requests tab, so your most-used searches are always one click away.

What it does

  - Adds a "Quick filters" button between the PR search bar and the Labels button on github.com/owner/repo/pulls.
  - Click it to open a dropdown of your saved filters. Pick one and the page jumps straight to that search.
  - Manage your filters from the toolbar popup — add, edit, reorder, or delete them at any time.
  - Mark any filter as your default and bare visits to /owner/repo/pulls automatically apply it. No more wading through draft PRs you don't care about.

Why you'll like it

  - Skip the drafts. A single click takes you to is:pr is:open draft:false — or whatever shape of "ready for review" you actually want.
  - Filter by author quickly. Each saved filter has an optional author field that appends author:<value> for you. Use @me for your own PRs, or a teammate's username when reviewing their work.
  - Bring your own queries. Anything that works in GitHub's PR search bar works here: review-requested:@me, label:bug, -author:dependabot[bot], date ranges, you name it.
  - Syncs across browsers. Filters are stored in chrome.storage.sync, so the same set follows you between machines signed into the same Chrome profile.
  - Stays out of the way. The dropdown menu lives in a Shadow DOM, so the extension's styles never leak into GitHub's UI and GitHub's styles never break the menu.

Example filters to get you started

  - No drafts — is:pr is:open draft:false
  - My PRs — is:pr is:open with author @me
  - Needs my review — is:pr is:open review-requested:@me
  - Recently merged — is:pr is:merged (sorted by recency)
  - No bots — is:pr is:open -author:app/dependabot -author:app/renovate

The extension ships with a few sensible defaults, and a Reset to defaults button if you ever want to start over.

Privacy

GHQF runs entirely in your browser. It does not send any data to remote servers, does not track you, and has no analytics. The only thing it stores is your list of saved filters, kept in chrome.storage.sync so
  they follow your Chrome profile. It only activates on github.com Pull Request pages — nowhere else.

Permissions explained

  - storage — to save your filter list locally and sync it across your Chrome profile.
  - Access to github.com — required to inject the Quick filters button into the Pull Requests page. The extension does not read or modify any other site.

Open source

GHQF is MIT-licensed and the full source is on GitHub. Issues, suggestions, and pull requests are welcome.
