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

Issues

List open issues:

gh issue list --repo owner/repo --state open

Create an issue:

gh issue create --repo owner/repo --title "Bug: ..." --body "..."

Close an issue:

gh issue close <issue-number> --repo owner/repo

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'

Get repository info:

gh api repos/owner/repo --jq '{name, stars: .stargazers_count, forks: .forks_count}'

JSON Output

Most commands support --json for structured output. You can use --jq to filter:

gh issue list --repo owner/repo --json number,title --jq '.[] | "\(.number): \(.title)"'

List PRs with labels:

gh pr list --repo owner/repo --json number,title,labels --jq '.[] | "\(.number): \(.title) [\(.labels | map(.name) | join(", "))]"'

Common Workflows

Review a PR

# View PR details
gh pr view 123 --repo owner/repo

# Check CI status
gh pr checks 123 --repo owner/repo

# Checkout PR locally
gh pr checkout 123 --repo owner/repo

# Approve PR
gh pr review 123 --repo owner/repo --approve

# Merge PR
gh pr merge 123 --repo owner/repo --squash

Create a Release

gh release create v1.0.0 --repo owner/repo --title "Release 1.0.0" --notes "Release notes..."
