Searching for pull requests using author: now shows pull requests opened by Copilot cloud agent on the user’s behalf. For example, searching with author:@me on github.com/pulls will return your own pull requests and any pull requests Copilot opened at your direction. With a single query, you can easily view and manage all the pull requests you authored, whether you authored them directly or with Copilot cloud agent.

Currently, this change applies to the github.com UI and GitHub Mobile. On July 16, we will also roll out this change to the REST API and GraphQL API.

What’s changing

• Using author:[username] or author:@me in any pull request search returns human-authored and Copilot-authored pull requests together.
• Default pull request queries and views, like the Created by me view on github.com/pulls, will automatically include Copilot-authored pull requests in the list.
• You no longer need to use multiple searches or complex queries to return all of the pull requests a user is responsible for.
• The new global pull requests dashboard attributes username with Copilot as the author of pull requests, not only Copilot. Similar changes will continue to roll out across the platform over time.
