| description | Interact with GitHub using the `gh` CLI. Use when users ask about pull requests, issues, CI/CD status, workflow runs, repository information, or want to create, review, or merge PRs. Covers `gh issue`, `gh pr`, `gh run`, and `gh api` for issues, pull requests, actions, checks, releases, and advanced queries. Triggers on mentions of GitHub, pull request, PR, issue, workflow, actions, checks, or merge. |
GitHub Skill
Use the gh CLI to interact with GitHub. 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
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'
Debugging a Failed CI Run
- Check PR status:
gh pr checks <pr-number> --repo owner/repo
- List recent runs:
gh run list --repo owner/repo --limit 5
- View the failed run:
gh run view <run-id> --repo owner/repo
- Get failed step logs:
gh run view <run-id> --repo owner/repo --log-failed
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)"'
