github
GitHub通过 gh CLI 管理 GitHub 资源,支持 Issues、PRs、仓库、代码搜索及 Actions。适用于提及 GitHub 对象、编号或需代码审查的场景,涵盖状态查看、创建、评论、合并及 API 调用等任务。

Use the gh CLI for everything. The user's OAuth access token is exported
as $GH_TOKEN; gh reads it automatically — gh auth status will say
"not logged in" because gh keeps no config file in the sandbox, but every
authenticated subcommand works regardless.
gh --help and gh <subcommand> --help are always current. When unsure,
read the help first instead of guessing flags.
Two ways to call gh — prefer subcommands
Style A: First-class subcommands — START HERE
gh issue, gh pr, gh repo, gh search, gh release, gh workflow,
gh run, gh status, gh project, gh label, gh secret,
gh variable, gh gist. Use these whenever they cover the task; they
output formatted text by default and structured JSON via
--json <fields> [--jq <expr>].
Style B: Raw REST / GraphQL via gh api
gh api <endpoint> for REST, gh api graphql -f query='…' for GraphQL.
Useful when no first-class subcommand exists. Notable flags:
-X POST|PATCH|PUT|DELETE— override method (defaultGET, becomesPOSTautomatically when-f/-Fis set).-f key=value— string field;-F key=value— JSON-typed field (true/123/@file.json); both URL-encode forGETand JSON-encode for body methods.-q '<jq>'— same as--jq. With a primitive top-level value (string / number) it prints the raw value (no quotes).-H 'Accept: application/vnd.github.raw'— fetch a file's raw bytes instead of the JSON wrapper.--paginate— auto-walkLink: rel="next".
Recipes
Triage what's on my plate (issues + PRs + reviews + mentions)
gh status
List recent issues in a repo
gh issue list --repo OWNER/REPO --limit 20
gh issue list --repo OWNER/REPO --state all --limit 20 \
--json number,title,state,author,updatedAt,labels --jq '.[]'
View an issue with comments
gh issue view 123 --repo OWNER/REPO --comments
gh issue view 123 --repo OWNER/REPO --json title,body,comments \
--jq '{title, body, comments: [.comments[] | {author: .author.login, body, createdAt}]}'
Create / comment / close an issue
gh issue create --repo OWNER/REPO --title "Bug: foo" --body "Repro steps…" --label bug
gh issue comment 123 --repo OWNER/REPO --body "LGTM"
gh issue close 123 --repo OWNER/REPO --comment "Fixed in #456"
List PRs assigned to / authored by me
gh search prs --assignee=@me --state=open --json number,title,repository,updatedAt
gh search prs --author=@me --state=open
View a PR with diff and CI checks
gh pr view 456 --repo OWNER/REPO
gh pr diff 456 --repo OWNER/REPO
gh pr checks 456 --repo OWNER/REPO
Comment / review / merge a PR
gh pr comment 456 --repo OWNER/REPO --body "Please rebase on main."
gh pr review 456 --repo OWNER/REPO --approve --body "LGTM"
gh pr review 456 --repo OWNER/REPO --request-changes --body "See nits"
gh pr merge 456 --repo OWNER/REPO --squash --delete-branch
Search code across GitHub
gh search code 'someFunction language:typescript' --limit 20 \
--json repository,path,url --jq '.[] | "\(.repository.nameWithOwner) \(.path)"'
Read a file from a repo (raw bytes, no base64 dance)
gh api "repos/OWNER/REPO/contents/path/to/file.ts" \
-H 'Accept: application/vnd.github.raw'
List recent commits on the default branch
gh api "repos/OWNER/REPO/commits?per_page=20" \
--jq '.[] | "\(.sha[0:7]) \(.commit.author.date) \(.commit.message | split("\n")[0])"'
Trigger / inspect Actions workflows
gh workflow list --repo OWNER/REPO
gh workflow run ci.yaml --repo OWNER/REPO --ref main -f key=value
gh run list --repo OWNER/REPO --workflow ci.yaml --limit 5
gh run view <RUN_ID> --repo OWNER/REPO --log-failed
View a repo's metadata
gh repo view OWNER/REPO
gh repo view OWNER/REPO --json description,url,stargazerCount,defaultBranchRef
GraphQL for things REST can't do (e.g. project board items)
gh api graphql -f query='
query($owner: String!, $repo: String!, $num: Int!) {
repository(owner: $owner, name: $repo) {
issue(number: $num) {
title
timelineItems(first: 50) {
nodes { __typename ... on CrossReferencedEvent { source { ... on PullRequest { number title state } } } }
}
}
}
}' -f owner=OWNER -f repo=REPO -F num=123
Notes
- For private repos the user MUST have granted
reposcope when they authorized the connection atauth.acedata.cloud/user/connections. A 404 on a repo you know exists usually means missing scope, not a wrong URL. - When
--jsonrejects a field name, gh prints the full list of valid fields — re-read the error and pick from there. gh issue list --searchandgh search issuesuse the GitHub search syntax (is:open,assignee:@me,repo:owner/name, etc.). Usegh search issues/gh search prsfor cross-repo queries; usegh issue listfor one repo.gh api --paginateonly works on endpoints that emit aLinkheader; for cursor-paginated endpoints you have to followpagination.nextyourself.
