GitHub PR Comment

When to use

• The user asks to comment on a PR.
• Posting status updates or feedback on a PR.
• Editing or deleting previous comments.

Inputs to confirm

• Comment body text or file.
• Whether to edit or delete last comment.

Workflow

1. Verify auth:

   gh --version

2. Post a comment:

   gh pr comment 123 --body "LGTM! Ready for merge."
   gh pr comment 123 --body-file review-notes.md
   

3. Edit or delete your last comment:

   gh pr comment 123 --edit-last --body "Updated: addressed concerns"
   gh pr comment 123 --delete-last --yes
   

4. Open editor or browser:

   gh pr comment 123 --editor
   gh pr comment 123 --web
   

Examples
