Use the gh CLI to interact with GitHub: $ARGUMENTS

Always specify --repo owner/repo when not in a git directory, or use URLs directly.


Pull Requests

Check CI status on a PR:

gh pr checks 55 --repo owner/repo

List recent workflow runs:

gh run list --repo owner/repo --limit 10

View a run and see which steps failed:

gh run view <run-id> --repo owner/repo

View logs for failed steps only:

gh run view <run-id> --repo owner/repo --log-failed

Issues

List open issues:

gh issue list --repo owner/repo --state open

Create an issue:

gh issue create --repo owner/repo --title "Title" --body "Description"

Code Review

Review a PR diff:

gh pr diff 55 --repo owner/repo

Comment on a PR:

gh pr comment 55 --repo owner/repo --body "Comment text"

API for Advanced Queries

The gh api command is useful for accessing data not available through other subcommands.

Get PR with specific fields:

gh api repos/owner/repo/pulls/55 --jq '.title, .state, .user.login'

Get PR review comments:

gh api repos/owner/repo/pulls/55/comments

JSON Output

Most commands support --json for structured output. Use --jq to filter:

gh issue list --repo owner/repo --json number,title --jq '.[] | "\(.number): \(.title)"'
