● ReadyThe Manual Export Nightmare
Every week, thousands of developers waste hours copying GitHub issues one by one. Page by page. Click by click. Because GitHub refuses to build a simple export button.
The Manual Process Today
- 1.Open GitHub issues page
- 2.Copy each issue manually (2+ min per issue)
- 3.Paste into spreadsheet
- 4.Format the data (because it's messy)
- 5.Repeat for EVERY. SINGLE. PAGE.
- 6.Cry when you realize you missed some
The Real Cost
Meanwhile, Your Boss Is Waiting...
“Can you send me that issues report?” they ask. And you know you're about to lose your entire afternoon to manual data entry. Again.
Developers Are Fed Up Waiting
233+ GitHub developers are actively demanding issue export functionality. Here's what they're saying while waiting for GitHub to act:
“GitHub needs to increase the urgency of this request. It's mind boggling that this feature does not exist.”
“Really this feature is very much needed... every now and then bosses ask for list of pending / completed issues and even in 2024 we have to do it manually ... thats absurd”
“As a PM, I would like to be able to download my team's issues in order to triage the backlog in a more robust project management tool than Github offers (like a spreadsheet!).”
“Been waiting 3+ years for GitHub to add basic CSV export. Meanwhile our compliance team needs monthly reports and I'm stuck copy-pasting hundreds of issues manually.”
“This is 2024 and GitHub still doesn't have issue export? Every other tool has this basic functionality. My team wastes hours each sprint creating reports manually.”
“Embarrassing that a platform this mature lacks such fundamental export capabilities. We've resorted to scraping with scripts - not exactly sustainable or reliable.”
“I too would love the ability to easily export my issues into a spreadsheet to analize the requests from a macro view. Currently I have 5 pages of issues in a project under development and I have to go page by page to print and then the format is pretty ugly”
“For our audit compliance we have to provide exports of issues to the auditor, it is very painful to take screenshots of each page of results for each repository. The auditor has also complained they cannot easily make sample selections from screenshots”
“I'm surprised this isn't a feature yet. Especially since DevOps and GitHub are both owned by Microsoft now and integrate. DevOps can export a lot easier than GitHub.”
“This is a must have feature that is missing! most popular bug trackers have that feature.”
“I'm surprised that this has been a request 5 years earlier! This feature is very much still required”

Everything you need to know about exporting GitHub issues
A Note from the Founder
Hey, I'm Lars. I built this after losing 2 years of issues during a GitHub outage in 2023.
The pain was real. Have you ever tried to export GitHub issues? It's a nightmare. No built-in export, clunky APIs, rate limits everywhere. I spent days writing scripts just to get my data out in a readable format. And that's if GitHub is even accessible.
I searched everywhere for a simple backup solution. Everything was either enterprise-complex or hosted on AWS (same infrastructure as half the internet). So I built what I needed: dead-simple, real-time backups to infrastructure that won't fail when GitHub does.
This isn't some VC-funded moon shot. It's a simple tool that does one thing well: keeps your issues safe. I just want to help people who've faced the same frustrations I did. No feature creep, no enterprise upsells, just reliable backups for $10/month per organization.
If you have questions, email me directly at lars@issue-shield.com. I actually read and respond to every email (crazy, right?).
Ship fast, backup faster.
