About issue and pull request assignees

You can assign multiple people to each issue or pull request, including: yourself, anyone who has commented on the issue or pull request, anyone with write permissions to the repository, and organization members with read permissions to the repository. For more information, see AUTOTITLE.

{% ifversion copilot %}

You may also be able to assign {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} to an issue, see AUTOTITLE.

{% endif %}

Issues and pull requests in public repositories, and in private repositories for a paid account, can have up to 10 people assigned. Private repositories on the free plan are limited to one person per issue or pull request.

Assigning an individual issue or pull request

{% data reusables.repositories.navigate-to-repo %} {% data reusables.repositories.sidebar-issue-pr %}

  1. Open the issue or pull request that you want to assign to someone.

  2. In the right side menu, click Assignees.

    Screenshot of the right sidebar of an issue. A header, labeled "Assignees", is outlined in dark orange.

  3. To assign the issue or pull request to a user, start typing their username, then click their name when it appears. You can select and add up to ten assignees to an issue or pull request.

Assigning multiple issues or pull requests

{% data reusables.repositories.navigate-to-repo %} {% data reusables.repositories.sidebar-issue-pr %}

  1. Select the items you want to assign to someone.

  2. In the upper-right corner, click Assign.

  3. To assign the items to a user, start typing their username, then click their name when it appears. You can select and add up to ten assignees to an issue or pull request.

Assigning an issue to {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %}

If you assign an issue to {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %}, {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} will work autonomously on the issue, creating a pull request and, when it has finished, requesting that you review the pull request. See AUTOTITLE.
