Pin and lock issues#

Users with triage access to a repository can pin important issues and lock heated or finished conversations. Both controls are in the issue sidebar.

Pin an issue#

Choose Pin to top in the sidebar. Pinned issues show a Pinned chip and appear in a block above the issue list, whatever filter is active. Choose Unpin to remove it. A repository can pin up to three issues.

From the terminal: cafe issue pin <number> and cafe issue unpin <number>.

Lock a conversation#

In the sidebar's Conversation row, choose Lock and optionally a reason: off-topic, too heated, resolved or spam. While an issue is locked, only users with triage access can comment; everyone else sees a notice with the reason. Choose Unlock in the notice or the sidebar to reopen the conversation.

From the terminal: cafe issue lock <number> --reason resolved and cafe issue unlock <number>.

Pull request conversations can be locked the same way from their sidebar, or with cafe pr lock.
