GitHub Issue Comment

When to use

  • The user asks to comment on an issue or post an update.
  • You need to edit or delete your last comment.

Inputs to confirm

  • Issue number or URL.
  • Comment body (or file path).
  • Whether to edit/delete the last comment.

Workflow

  1. Verify auth:
    gh --version
gh auth status
  2. Post a comment:
    gh issue comment 123 --body "Status update: fix in progress"
gh issue comment 123 --body-file update.md
  3. Edit or delete last comment if requested:
    gh issue comment 123 --edit-last --body "Updated info"
gh issue comment 123 --delete-last --yes
  4. Confirm:
    gh issue view 123 --comments

Examples

# Quick update
~ gh issue comment 123 --body "Working on this now."

# Edit last comment
~ gh issue comment 123 --edit-last --body "Revised ETA: tomorrow."

Notes

  • Without --body/--body-file, gh opens an interactive prompt.
  • --web opens the browser for composing a comment.
