Pull Requests

gh pr list                          # List open PRs
gh pr view 123                      # View PR details
gh pr create --title "Fix bug" --body "..." --base main
gh pr merge 123 --squash
gh pr checkout 123
gh pr review 123 --approve

Issues

Actions / CI

gh run list                         # List recent workflow runs
gh run view 123456789               # View run details
gh run watch                        # Watch current run live
gh workflow run deploy.yml

API Calls with `jq`

gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls | jq '.[].title'
gh api /user/repos | jq '.[].full_name'
gh api graphql -f query='{ viewer { login } }'

Usage Guidelines

Default to the current repo context when no --repo flag is specified.
Use jq to filter and format gh api JSON output for readability.
For bulk operations, pipe gh issue list --json number,title into jq.
Always confirm before closing issues or merging PRs.

Notes

Requires gh auth login to be completed before use.
Install: brew install gh and brew install jq
