| description | Address code review comments (e.g. from Copilot's automated PR review) on an open PR, then mark each resolved conversation. Use after a reviewer leaves inline comments and you've fixed and pushed the corresponding changes. |
Resolve PR review comments
- Fetch the inline review comments:
gh api repos/<owner>/<repo>/pulls/<n>/comments -q '.[] | {id, path, line, body}'.
- Verify each comment before acting on it — a review comment (bot or human) can itself be wrong. Check the claim against the real repo state (read the file, run the check) rather than applying it blindly.
- Fix what's genuinely wrong, commit, and push to the PR's branch.
- Reply to each comment thread confirming what changed, referencing the commit:
gh api repos/<owner>/<repo>/pulls/<n>/comments/<comment-id>/replies -f body="Fixed in <sha> — ...".
- Mark the conversation resolved — this does not happen automatically just by pushing a fix or replying. Look up the review thread's node ID (not the comment ID) via GraphQL, since only GraphQL can resolve threads:
{
repository(owner: "<owner>", name: "<repo>") {
pullRequest(number: <n>) {
reviewThreads(first: 20) {
nodes { id isResolved path comments(first: 1) { nodes { databaseId } } }
}
}
}
}
Match comments.nodes[0].databaseId back to the REST comment ID from step 1 to find the right thread, then resolve it:
mutation { resolveReviewThread(input: {threadId: "<thread-id>"}) { thread { isResolved } } }
Check isResolved first — some threads may already flip to resolved on their own after a push (observed with Copilot's reviewer), so don't assume every thread still needs the mutation.
