I was looking for the PR that changed iota.length and it took me longer than it could have. I googled for

iota length dlang

and among the top results I found the changelog PR: https://github.com/dlang/phobos/pull/4220, but it was through indirections via mail-archive.com. Same goes about the actual result (https://github.com/dlang/phobos/pull/4013) which was further down the page.

Are there any shortcuts? It would help a lot if one could search github.com repos for PR titles, is that possible?


Thanks,

Andrei

Is that good enough? Relevant PR is the second entry there for me.

If we used more labels it would be easier still.
This is also where integrated bug tracker can help significantly since its a commit message like "Fixes #1" would auto close issue once merged[0] and have it mentioned in both places.

Since the other answers have the fish, so I'll throw in (another) fishing rod:

1. Use `git blame` to find the commit you wish to find the PR of. (Since you use Emacs, magit's magit-blame is fantastic as always).

2. Concatenate "https://github.com/dlang/phobos/commit/" and the commit SHA1 to get the GitHub commit URL.

3. Click the pull request number below the commit message:
