GitHub Skill

Use the gh CLI to interact with GitHub repositories, issues, PRs, and CI.

When to Use

  • Checking PR status, reviews, or merge readiness
  • Viewing CI/​workflow run status and logs
  • Creating, closing, or commenting on issues
  • Creating or merging pull requests
  • Querying GitHub API for repository data

When NOT to Use

  • Local git operations (commit, push, pull) → use git directly
  • Non-GitHub repos (GitLab, Bitbucket) → different CLIs
  • Cloning repositories → use git clone

Setup

gh auth login
gh auth status

Common Commands

Pull Requests

gh pr list --repo owner/​repo
gh pr checks 55 --repo owner/​repo
gh pr view 55 --repo owner/​repo
gh pr create --title "feat: add feature" --body "Description"
gh pr merge 55 --squash --repo owner/​repo

Issues

gh issue list --repo owner/​repo --state open
gh issue create --title "Bug: something broken" --body "Details..."
gh issue close 42 --repo owner/​repo

CI/​Workflow Runs

gh run list --repo owner/​repo --limit 10
gh run view <run-id> --repo owner/​repo
gh run view <run-id> --repo owner/​repo --log-failed
gh run rerun <run-id> --failed --repo owner/​repo

API Queries

gh api repos/​owner/​repo/​pulls/​55 --jq '.title, .state, .user.login'
gh api repos/​owner/​repo/​labels --jq '.[].name'
gh api repos/​owner/​repo --jq '{stars: .stargazers_count, forks: .forks_count}'

JSON Output

gh issue list --json number,title --jq '.[] | "\(.number): \(.title)"'
gh pr list --json number,title,state,mergeable --jq '.[] | select(.mergeable == "MERGEABLE")'

Notes

  • Always specify --repo owner/​repo when not in a git directory
  • Use URLs directly: gh pr view https://github.com/owner/repo/pull/55
  • Rate limits apply; use gh api --cache 1h for repeated queries
