NAME

gh-pr-comment - Add a comment to a pull request

SYNOPSIS

gh pr comment [<number> | <url> | <branch>] [flags]

DESCRIPTION

Add a comment to a GitHub pull request.

Without body text or attachments supplied through flags, the command will interactively prompt for the comment text.

Use --attach to upload an image or video. If the body already references an attached file, such as , that reference is rewritten to point at the uploaded asset. Any attached file the body does not reference is appended to the end of the comment. You can attach up to 50 files per command.

Alt text for an image follows the path after #, as in --attach './login.png#The login error state'. Without it the filename is used. A reference already in the body keeps the alt text written there. Video renders as a player and has no alt text, so it cannot be given any.

OPTIONS

--attach <file>

-b, --body <text>

The comment body text

-F, --body-file <file>

Read body text from file (use "-" to read from standard input)

--create-if-none

Create a new comment if no comments are found. Can be used only with --edit-last

--delete-last

Delete the last comment of the current user

--edit-last

Edit the last comment of the current user

-e, --editor

Skip prompts and open the text editor to write the body in

-w, --web

Open the web browser to write the comment

--yes

Skip the delete confirmation prompt when --delete-last is provided

OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS
