Investigating GitHub pull requests

This document contains useful patterns for inspecting a single GitHub pull request.

How to view pull request context

Use Show-PullRequestComments.ps1 to view all pull request comments, review decisions, issue comments, review submissions, and inline review comments.

pwsh ./eng/docker-tools/skill-helpers/Show-PullRequestComments.ps1 $prNumber [-Repo "$owner/$repo"]

How to view pull request checks and logs

Use Show-PullRequestBuilds.ps1 to view the GitHub status check summary, including a detailed view of Azure Pipelines build checks.

pwsh ./eng/docker-tools/skill-helpers/Show-PullRequestBuilds.ps1 -PullRequest $prNumber [-Repo "$owner/$repo"]

How to read Azure Pipelines logs

First, get the log ID from the build timeline. Then, use Get-BuildLog.ps1 to print the full log:

pwsh ./eng/docker-tools/skill-helpers/Get-BuildLog.ps1 -Organization dnceng-public -Project public -BuildId $buildId -LogId $logId
