GitHub Issue Comment

When to use

• The user asks to comment on an issue or post an update.
• You need to edit or delete your last comment.

Inputs to confirm

• Issue number or URL.
• Comment body (or file path).
• Whether to edit/delete the last comment.

Workflow

1. Verify auth:

   gh --version
   gh auth status
   

2. Post a comment:

   gh issue comment 123 --body "Status update: fix in progress"
   gh issue comment 123 --body-file update.md
   

3. Edit or delete last comment if requested:

   gh issue comment 123 --edit-last --body "Updated info"
   gh issue comment 123 --delete-last --yes
   

4. Confirm:

   gh issue view 123 --comments
   

Examples

# Quick update
~ gh issue comment 123 --body "Working on this now."

# Edit last comment
~ gh issue comment 123 --edit-last --body "Revised ETA: tomorrow."

Notes

• Without --body/--body-file, gh opens an interactive prompt.
• --web opens the browser for composing a comment.
