# bd orphans

> Identify orphaned issues (referenced in commits but still open)

Generated from `bd help --doc orphans`.

Identify orphaned issues - issues that are referenced in commit messages but remain open or in\_progress in the database.

This helps identify work that has been implemented but not formally closed.

Examples:
bd orphans              # Show orphaned issues
bd orphans --json       # Machine-readable output
bd orphans --details    # Show full commit information
bd orphans --fix        # Close orphaned issues with confirmation
bd orphans --label theme:personal             # Only orphans with this label
bd orphans --label-any theme:personal,theme:ventures  # Orphans with either label

```
bd orphans [flags]
```

**Flags:**

```
      --details             Show full commit information
  -f, --fix                 Close orphaned issues with confirmation
  -l, --label strings       Filter by labels (AND: must have ALL). Can combine with --label-any

```
