export projects to csv

[letusskate]

Product Feedback

Once i use github projects, I got a feeling of smooth and natural. It's a really good thing for me to manage my coding plan.
but when I want to export it to make pictures or powerpoint, I found it really difficult. I have to copy and paste for about a whole day. I think if there is a icon to export the project to csv, it does make sence.

Hello @letusskate You could probably write a python script to manage that for you. Hopefully you know how to run a python script.
Should be easy. the possibilities are endless, I have even created a GitHub Action that could run a script (not this example) to commit the csv to a repo too. So it can be done yes.

import csv
import requests

# Replace the URL below with your GitHub project API URL
url = "https://api.github.com/repos/{your-username}/{your-repo}/issues"

# Replace the token below with your GitHub API token
token = "{your-github-api-token}"

headers = {"Authorization": f"Token {token}"}

response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
issues = response.json()

# Replace the filename below with the name you want to give your CSV file
filename = "github_project_issues.csv"

with open(filename, "w", newline="") as csvfile:
    writer = csv.writer(csvfile)
    writer.writerow(["Title", "Body", "Labels"])

    for issue in issues:
        title = issue["title"]
        body = issue["body"]
        labels = [label["name"] for label in issue["labels"]]
        writer.writerow([title, body, ", ".join(labels)])

print(f"Data exported to {filename}")

Some one is using GitHub to spy on me...Iam apinan sangthong

Those are likely Server or Port Holders and Identified Users or Primary Contact for Server or Port Service based on personal or professional usage, as in they may not recognize when there are other users present or connected using the same connection contact methods, as if all on the same timezone or region or location based as a public node like point of reference, that could or may be not identifying based on specified exclusions from one to the other setup. It would be of matches of singularity rather than public multi user based shared text typed language written setup configurations in the codes or snips or how ever it is made or generated.

This would be a nice to have feature. +1 for export to CSV

[pombredanne]

What about the import of a CSV?

[pombredanne]

@jge162 Your script is for plain issues, not for projects AFAICS?

[jge162]

The script is just a pseudo code idea. I do not know enough to write one for his issue. Just giving him/her ideas.

Short of an easy import/export from/to a tabular format (CSV or XLSX), this project feature is mostly harmless :]

You can now export your project view to a CSV file! Check it out on the changelog announcement and let us know what you think 🚀

Hi, Will descriptions be added to the exports in the future?

Love to have this. We use GH projects to organize our work and we recently ran into what I would call "expected but unfortunate behavior". We use the "export view data" functionality:

Which spawns this confirmation dialog after clicking:

We noticed that "rows that have been loaded into this view" but initially misunderstood it. We thought, once we filtered in our project view and the browser tab was done loading, that everything would be included in the export.

What actually happened was, that data was missing in the export because we first had to scroll down in the view and saw issues being loaded when they came into view.

After scrolling down once and exporting again, all data was included in the export.

This might be nice to know for others and as a developer I can somewhat guess why it is that way (data being loaded in the view, the export only containing what's in the state at the time the export button is clicked etc.) but it would be nice to have a way to export all data of a view without having to scroll first.

[Birendra1245]

This is a great addition—being able to export project views is genuinely useful for teams relying on GitHub Projects for tracking and reporting.

One thing we ran into, though, might catch others off guard. The export only includes rows that have actually been loaded in the view at the time of export. Initially, we assumed that once the filtered view finished loading, everything would be included—but that’s not the case. Data that hadn’t been brought into view (via scrolling) was missing from the CSV.

After scrolling through the full list and triggering all items to load, the export worked as expected.

Totally understand why it behaves this way from a technical standpoint, but it would be really helpful to have an option to export the complete dataset for a view without needing to manually scroll

first.****

Can we get a way to export the "Description" (body text) or "comments"?

[bandar80s]

function processCommand(command) {
try {
if (!command?.trim()) {
return 'Please enter a command. Type "more" for available commands.';
}

const sanitizedCommand = command.toLowerCase().trim();

switch (sanitizedCommand) {
case 'more':
return commands.more;
case 'about':
return commands.about;
case 'skills':
return commands.skills;
case 'projects':
return commands.projects;
case 'contact':
return commands.contact;
default:
return Command not found: "${command}". Type 'more' for available commands.;
}
} catch (error) {
console.error('[Terminal] Error processing command:', error);
return 'An error occurred while processing the command.';
}
}

Looks like you want a clean, ready-to-use reply for a “comment / answer” slot. Since there’s no specific question attached, here are a few versatile options you can drop in depending on tone:

Neutral & safe:

Thanks for raising this. From what I understand, the key point here is balancing practicality with long-term impact. A thoughtful approach would consider both immediate results and sustainability.

Confident & direct:

The answer is fairly straightforward: focus on what actually works in practice, not just theory. Prioritize efficiency, measure results, and adjust based on real outcomes.

Slightly conversational:

Good question. Honestly, it comes down to keeping things simple and consistent—overcomplicating it usually creates more problems than it solves.

Supportive / agreeable:

I agree with the direction here. It makes sense, especially when you look at the bigger picture and how things tend to play out over time.

Thanks! I was the original poster. Glad this feature is available n
