gh pr comment

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

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 ![alt](./login.png), 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>
Attach an image or video file, in '<file>#<image alt text>' format
-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

-R, --repo <[HOST/]OWNER/REPO>
Select another repository using the [HOST/]OWNER/REPO format

Examples

# Add a comment to a pull request
$ gh pr comment 13 --body "Hi from GitHub CLI"

# Attach a screenshot, with alt text after "#"
$ gh pr comment 13 --attach './login.png#The login error state'

# Attach multiple files by repeating the flag
$ gh pr comment 13 --attach ./before.png --attach ./after.png
