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 "Description..."

Close an issue with comment:

gh issue close 42 --repo owner/repo --comment "Fixed in PR #55"

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'

List PR review comments:

gh api repos/owner/repo/pulls/55/comments --jq '.[].body'

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)"'

Useful Patterns

Create PR with body:

gh pr create --repo owner/repo --title "feat: add feature" --body "## Summary\n- Added X\n- Fixed Y"

Review and merge PR:

gh pr review 55 --repo owner/repo --approve
gh pr merge 55 --repo owner/repo --squash

Check PR diff:

gh pr diff 55 --repo owner/repo
