A graphical view of the relationships between github issues

Motivation

GitHub is awesome for tracking issues related to repositories. It even lets you easily reference issues across repos. But once you've grown to many repos, it can become very hard to see the overall map of dependencies between issues across projects. The goal of this Issue-Graph application is to make it possible to see at a glance how issues are related throughout an organization's or user's repos.

Background

Starting an internship earlier this year at MarkITx, I was given this basic premise and tasked with implementing it (using d3 and node) and making it my own. Though not nearly finished, I do believe it can benefit from outside suggestions. I just finished my first year at the University of Chicago and this is my first major dev project so I welcome any constructive recommendations.

My vision for this application is to become a tool to visualize the workflow and goals of an organization through their company repos and issues. An employee of a company would be able to visually identify each issue's dependencies, specifically which issues are integral to the closing of many other issues.

I focused on implementing features, such as filtering, hiding, and grouping, that would allow a user to customize their graph to aid their visualization of a group of repos.

Details

Issues nodes are linked by references within an issue's body to another issue using the format [org/repo]#issuenum.
