What it does
Interact with GitHub using the `gh` CLI. Use `gh issue`, `gh pr`, `gh run`, and `gh api` for issues, PRs, CI runs, and advanced queries. Use when the user asks about GitHub issues, pull requests, workflows, or wants to interact with GitHub repositories from the command line, including tasks like check CI status, create PR, list issues, or query the GitHub API.
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
Debugging a CI Failure
Follow this sequence to investigate a failing CI run:
- Check PR status, identify which checks are failing:
gh pr checks 55 --repo owner/repo - List recent runs, find the relevant run ID:
gh run list --repo owner/repo --limit 10 - View the failed run, see which jobs and steps failed:
gh run view <run-id> --repo owner/repo - Fetch failure logs, get the detailed output for failed steps:
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'
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)"'
