Body

I have a bunch of issues in my Github Project with status "Testing", which is the name of the kanban column. I want to close all of those issues at once. How do I do that?

Alternatively, can I filter issues in the Issues tab based on Project Status?

One way to close multiple issues is to make a new commit message listing them as fixed.

so for example
Closes #10, Closes #11, Closes #23

https://docs.github.com/en/issues/tracking-your-work-with-issues/linking-a-pull-request-to-an-issue#closing-multiple-issues

As for filtering them there’s a label button below the filter button on Issues tab, if you press it you can filter by label.

That's not what I'm asking, I need to close issues based on Project status. I don't want to do any pull requests, I just want to close all the issues in my Project Kanban column.

Ah got it. You can select multiple items at once with control click and then do operations.

multi select:
https://docs.github.com/en/issues/planning-and-tracking-with-projects/managing-items-in-your-project/archiving-items-from-your-project#archiving-items

And you can also set automatic rules for project items to be arquived automatically https://docs.github.com/en/issues/planning-and-tracking-with-projects/automating-your-project/archiving-items-automatically

So archiving them will also close the issues automatically? I don't really want to remove them from the Kanban, just close the related issues.

Some project tasks are also issues, and moving the project task to "done" column does not close the issue. How can I bulk edit project tickets, and in this specific instance, to bulk close the "done" tasks?
