GitHub

Use gh for GitHub. Use git for local commits/branches/push/pull. Use code-reading tools for deep reviews.

Auth

gh auth status
gh auth login

Gateway HOME can differ from operator HOME. If gh auth exists elsewhere, set GH_CONFIG_DIR in the gateway service env and restart.

PRs

gh pr list --repo owner/repo --json number,title,state,author,url
gh pr view 55 --repo owner/repo --json title,body,author,files,commits,reviews,reviewDecision
gh pr checks 55 --repo owner/repo
gh pr diff 55 --repo owner/repo
gh pr create --repo owner/repo --title "feat: title" --body-file /tmp/pr.md
gh pr merge 55 --repo owner/repo --squash

URLs work directly: gh pr view https://github.com/owner/repo/pull/55.

Issues

gh issue list --repo owner/repo --state open --json number,title,labels,url
gh issue view 42 --repo owner/repo --json title,body,comments,labels,state
gh issue create --repo owner/repo --title "Bug: ..." --body-file /tmp/issue.md
gh issue comment 42 --repo owner/repo --body-file /tmp/comment.md

CI/runs

gh run list --repo owner/repo --limit 10
gh run view <run-id> --repo owner/repo --json status,conclusion,headSha,url
gh run view <run-id> --repo owner/repo --log-failed
gh run rerun <run-id> --repo owner/repo --failed

API

gh api repos/owner/repo/pulls/55 --jq '.title, .state, .user.login'
gh api repos/owner/repo/labels --jq '.[].name'
gh api --cache 1h repos/owner/repo --jq '{stars: .stargazers_count, forks: .forks_count}'

Use --json + --jq for structured output. Use --body-file for comments/bodies containing backticks, shell snippets, env names, or user text.
