Description
Finding your first open source issue shouldn’t mean digging through hundreds of stale GitHub issues. gh-issue-lens is a fast and easy-to-use CLI that finds unassigned, beginner-friendly issues and collects their context: including linked PRs, assignees, and comments. Filter issues, exclude those with open PRs, and generate LLM-ready JSON for deeper analysis. It also supports incremental saving and automatic resume for large repositories, so no data loss when crashing.
