• User needs to manage GitHub workflows

How to execute

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 issues:

gh issue list --repo owner/repo

Create issue:

gh issue create --repo owner/repo --title "Title" --body "Description"

API for Advanced Queries

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:

gh issue list --repo owner/repo --json number,title --jq '.[] | "\(.number): \(.title)"'

Notes

• Always specify --repo owner/repo when not in a git directory
