Add issue dependency views #12152
Description
Describe the feature or problem you’d like to solve
New dependency (blocking/blocked) feature is not yet added to CLI, but would be very useful to quickly prioritise issues, e.g. find ones which are blocking other work, but are not blocked by themselves.
Proposed solution
- Add new
gh pr view/list --jsonfieldsblockedByandblockingreturning arrays similar togh pr view --json closingIssuesReferences - Add
gh pr list -b,--blocked/-B,--blocking - A negative filter can be implemented with
--not-blocked/--not-blocking, or by using special value such as0ornone
Additional context
Related to #11757, but that requests editing dependencies, while I am interested in just viewing them.

Thanks for your issue, @dkaszews! 🙏
I've replied on the other issue, and it's best to keep the conversation in one place. Not closing this, though, since it's a different request.
