Milestones

Milestones live at /{owner}/{repo}/milestones, reached from the Milestones button on the issue list or the "Manage milestones" link in the issue and pull request milestone picker.

What you can do:

  • Filter between open and closed milestones with the tabs at the top.
  • Create a milestone: title (required), optional due date and description. Due dates are stored as UTC midnight of the chosen day.
  • Edit a milestone's title, due date or description.
  • Close or reopen a milestone in place.
  • Delete a milestone after confirming. Its issues and pull requests stay, but no longer belong to a milestone.

Each row shows the due date ("Due …", or "Past due …" in red while the milestone is still open), the first lines of the description, a progress bar with the completion percentage and the open/closed counts (issues and pull requests both count), and a View issues link that opens the issue list filtered to that milestone.

Limits:

  • If someone else changed the milestone first, your edit is rejected and the list refreshes. Review the current values before retrying.
