'Github: How to search in all Release notes of a repository?

I want to search all release notes (including all past release notes) of Pandoc Repository, Github, for search term: #4817. How can I do it?



Solution 1:[1]

It appears from the #nnnn format that you are looking for a PR or an Issue. One can look-up Issue #4817 by using Github API directly:

https://github.com/search?q=4817+repo:jgm/pandoc+is:issue

Note that '#' had to be omitted.

To look among commits, git command that extract for later search the entire log for the repo has been described earlier:

git log --oneline --decorate

Solution 2:[2]

I've been using this useful CLI github-release-search Basically it does what Tom Morris was suggesting above.

  1. Fetch and cache releases
  2. Search releases (note that you have to escape the # as such: \#4817
