Is it possible to search for a particular filename on GitHub?

Question

I know that the GitHub web interface lets you search all repositories for files with a particular pathname (e.g. searching for path:/app/models/user.rb yields >

Answer 1

In my case, I wanted to search for a particular file name, in all of my organization's repositories. This can be done by entering this in the search box:

org:your-organization-user-name filename:the-file-name

Of course, just do "filename:the-file-name" if you want to search the whole of GitHub.

I didn't see this in https://help.github.com/articles/searching-code/ but found out when I switched context, and GitHub entered the filter for me automaticallly.
