I've checked the GitHub docs but can't find this. I've also googled this but can't find an answer.
How can I see all issues for all my repositories that have been assigned to me on the GitHub website?
It sounds like you're looking for https://github.com/issues/assigned.
The easiest way to get there is to click on the Issues link at the top right of the GitHub UI, and then the Assigned tab at the left side of the screen:
You can also use the assignee key in the search bar manually, e.g. assignee:panthro.
6 years later (January 2020), you also have the #me search syntax.
See "Search by #me"
That means Chris' screenshot of the "Issues" search field would now read:
state:open is:issue assignee:#me
No need for "assignee:myuser"

Is it possible to hide who follows me and who I follow from my profile? I feel like this should be an option for personal opsec. If not, is there anywhere I can request this feature?
UPDATE: https://docs.github.com/en/account-and-profile/setting-up-and-managing-your-github-profile/customizing-your-profile/setting-your-profile-to-private
As of now, there is no setting for this, to request feedback go to: https://github.com/github/feedback, specifically here, the profile help: https://github.com/github/feedback/discussions/categories/profile-feedback, or here, general feedback: https://github.com/github/feedback/discussions/categories/general-feedback, or even here: https://github.community/c/github-help/48.
I have tried my very best in searching, and the only profile items GitHub allows you to hide are 1) the PRO badge (this is the only one I have, not sure about other badges), and 2) your private contributions. I do not think there is a beta for this either.
For example, I follow Jeroen but his name does not show up at the top of the results. Any idea what could be the reason? And possible solutions?

Until recently I was able to find all my public comments using a link on my profile page. I was using this functionality to keep track of all issues where I have commented, but not contributed anything. It was under a section called "Public Activity".
This function seems to have been removed. I can not find anything about it on the help page about profiles.
Does anybody have any information on when and why this was removed?
You can do this with an advanced search query. In the Issues search box, enter "commenter:username".
Or if you want to search a specific repo: "RepositoryName commenter:username".
This link is quite useful, it's a live feed of all issues you've commented.
https://github.com/notifications/subscriptions?reason=comment
Alternatively, this link is also helpful and is probably what the OP asked (issues where one has written comments):
https://github.com/search?l=&q=commenter%3AVadorequest+is%3Aissue&type=issues
Replace "Vadorequest" by the username you're looking for
You can also use the global search with commenter:Vadorequest is:issue to achieve the same result
Also, if you want to track discussions you participated in, this link might help:
https://github.com/search?l=&q=commenter%3AVadorequest&type=discussions
Replace "Vadorequest" by the username you're looking for
You can also use the global search with commenter:Vadorequest to achieve the same result
This 4th (and last) is not related to the OP's question, but might come in handy. It lists all PR you were requested as reviewer.

Type involves:<username> in the search box on the GitHub's main page. This will find all the issues that the specified user commented on, was assigned to or mentioned in.
For example, if the user's name on GitHub is unclebob, the search query should look like:
involves:unclebob
Or when searching information about yourself if you're logged in to GitHub, simply:
involves:#me
Note, that unlike involves similar search qualifiers - author and commenter - will omit certain results from the search:
author will find only the issues that were started by the user; if the specified user comments on the issue that was started by someone else, author query won't return it in the search results.
E.g., compare involves:unclebob and author:unclebob type:issue.
commenter will find only those issues where the specified user commented second or later (creator of the first comment in an issue is considered its author and not a commenter); if the user starts an issue and then never comments on it, the commenter query won't return it in the search results.
E.g., compare involves:unclebob and commenter:unclebob.
In other words, when it comes to searching comments, author and commenter return only a subset of involves' results. So I recommend using involves not to miss anything.
Since GitHub Universe 2016, the profile page has changed.
It still has a "Contribution activity" though, which includes your own comments. But you might need to click on "Show more activity" to see past the last few weeks.
And you can email yourself your own activity since last June: "Email updates about your own activity".
If you want a list of all issues where you either created them or were a commenter on them, this link works best:
https://github.com/notifications/subscriptions?reason=author,comment
I want to find all the GitHub issues that I commented on. I tried searching for commenter:mbigras type:issue like the Searching issues and pull requests GitHub article suggests. But that method returns fewer results than the public activity section of my profile.
See both attached images:
Search method
Doesn't display current results:
Profile method
Gets mixed up with other public activity:
Is there a way to get the full history of my comments on GitHub?
EDIT
author:mbigras type:issue gives wider results but still not the full history:
What I'm looking for is a way to quickly view all my comment/issue history in all issues.
EDIT
I emailed GitHub about this. Search doesn't match the public activity section because search indexes issues by creation date and not last active date.
How do you keep organized about which issues you've commented on?
Search for commenter:username in the main Github search box.
For example commenter:gavinandresen
To see recent activity, select Recently updated from Sort dropdown
You can also narrow the search: is:issue commenter:gavinandresen
I have also been very frustrated when I could not find an issue that I have commented on a while ago. I even did not remember the project it was in. I knew only the problem I was referring to.
Then, I went to the Notification settings on Github and saw there is an Include your own updates option that is unchecked by default.
Once you check it, Github will send you an e-mail notification about every comment or PR you make. They you probably want to add an appropriate label and filter for emails so Github messages do not clutter an inbox.
My life has changed since then. Now, every time I want to find something I have written on Github, I just search for it in the e-mail notifications.
You can view all the issues on Github you have commented on by going to https://github.com/notifications/subscriptions and selecting Reason as Comment.
This will show all the issues that you've commented on.
You can also filter the issues by selecting other reason such as Assign, Author, Manual, Mention, etc. but you can select only one reason at a time. Also, you can filter the issues by repository by selecting the concerned repository from dropdown after clicking Repository
Search All GitHub using the search term is:issue author:#me
You can also check the following links.
For all your subscriptions
https://github.com/notifications/subscriptions
For all your issues
https://github.com/issues
For all your pull requests
https://github.com/pulls
In case someone is interested to know how to find these links, go to github's resi api documentation. The URL's are not explicitly described there. However, look for the page names bellow REFERENCE.
If you lowercase the relevant word (for example Issues become issues, Pulls become pulls) and put that after https://github.com/, you most probably will find what you are looking for.
This might be a little late, but there's also another way to find what issues/PRs you have participated in. This method also brings in a lot more things you might be interested in too!
When you are on the website main page, on github.com, use the keyboard shortcuts as described here to open your pull requests or issues. The shortcut for these is in particular [g, i] for issues and [g, p] for pull requests (I remember g by go, but whatever works for you.)
After you go to the page directed by these shortcuts you are greeted by an entire screen of goodies you can use! The search bar can be edited and the buttons can be used to make your experience fast!
Type involves:<your username> in the search box on the GitHub's main page. This will find all the issues that you commented on, was assigned to or mentioned in.
For example, if your username on GitHub is unclebob, the search query should look like:
involves:unclebob
Or if you're logged in to GitHub, then simply:
involves:#me
Note the difference between involves and similar search qualifiers - author and commenter:
author will find only the issues that were started by you; if you comment on the issue that was started by someone else, author query won't return it in the search results.
E.g., compare involves:unclebob and author:unclebob type:issue.
commenter will find only those issues where you commented second or later (creator of the first comment in an issue is considered its author and not a commenter); if you start an issue and then never comment on it, the commenter query won't return it in the search results.
E.g., compare involves:unclebob and commenter:unclebob.
In other words, when it comes to searching comments, author and commenter return only a subset of involves' results. So I recommend using involves not to miss anything.
Also, since Github is on the web, any HTTP search engine works, eg Google, Bing, etc. This works to the extent of your search engine's quality and the uniqueness of the writer name.
(Indeed, I actually do this all the time when I need to find any previously written web (engine)-accessible publication, including those on StackExchange. Names I use are 1 in probably an infinity, so Google often works better than forum search options.)
(Sample Google link.)
If you want to search for multiple users in a single search, use it like in the global search bar without the OR logical conjugation:
commenter:FantomX1 commenter:FantomX1-github
since the similar google way approach with 'OR' would not work
commenter:FantomX1 OR commenter:FantomX1-github
I'm using the github issue tracker for the first time, and I'm trying to manage a set of about 50 open issues. I would like to filter the set using standard Boolean queries over labels. But all I can figure out how to do is AND queries.
For example, I can show all issues that are labelled both view/controller and easy meat. But I do not know how to do any of the following queries:
Show me all open issues that are labeled view/controller but are not labeled easy meat.
Show me all open issues that are labeled either major refactoring or needs thought.
Show me every open issue that does not have any label.
I've searched and I've RTFM, and I can't find a way to ask these kinds of queries. Are such queries even possible? If so, how does one ask them?
This is possible since GitHub introduced the advanced filters.
Show me all open issues that are labeled view/controller but are not labeled easy meat.
is:open is:issue label:"view/controller" -label:"easy meat"
Notice the - before label: which says do not give me the issues containing this label.
Show me all open issues that are labeled either major refactoring or needs thought.
This is not supported (using label:A label:B means A and B instead of A or B) but you can do two different queries:
is:open is:issue label:"major refactoring"
is:open is:issue label:"needs thought"
Show me every open issue that does not have any label.
Use the no:label query:
is:open is:issue no:label
As additional info, you can refer to the GitHub documentation. And, https://github.com/issues can be your playgroud–being authenticated, you can search all the issues from repositories you have read access!
Not possible, at least using the GitHub Web app only. There may be 3rd party issue-management Web apps that do this (via GitHub API), but I'm not aware of any that do exactly and only what you want. Check out:

There are ways to achieve nearly what you want using formatted issue naming + searching, as described here:
