About searching for packages
You can search for packages globally across all of GitHub, or search for packages within a particular organization. For more information, see "About searching on GitHub."
Tips:
- For a list of search syntaxes that you can add to any search qualifier to further improve your results, see "Understanding the search syntax".
- Use quotations around multi-word search terms. For example, if you want to search for issues with the label "In progress," you'd search for
label:"in progress". Search is not case sensitive.
Searching within a user's or organization's packages
To find packages owned by a certain user or organization, use the user or org qualifier.
| Qualifier | Example |
|---|---|
user:USERNAME | user:codertocat matches packages owned by @codertocat |
org:ORGNAME | org:github matches packages owned by the GitHub organization |
Filtering by package visibility
To filter your search by whether a package is public or private, use the is qualifier.
| Qualifier | Example |
|---|---|
is:public | is:public angular matches public packages that contain the word "angular" |
is:private | is:private php matches private packages that contain the word "php" |
