Filtering options for issues and pull requests #641

This is a tracking ticket listing all the filtering options for issues and pull request currently available on GitHub and the status of their availability in GitHub CLI. (Checked means implemented and merged to master.)

We do not plan to explicitly support all these filtering options in CLI. We will select those that we intend to implement on a case-by-case basis.

Filtering options available through GitHub web UI
