# 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:
   ```bash
   gh --version
   gh auth status
   ```
2. Post a comment:
   ```bash
   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:
   ```bash
   gh issue comment 123 --edit-last --body "Updated info"
   gh issue comment 123 --delete-last --yes
   ```
4. Confirm:
   ```bash
   gh issue view 123 --comments
   ```

## Examples

```bash
# 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.
