GH-DISCUSSION-COMMENT(1)

💬 GH-DISCUSSION-COMMENT 💬

okay bestie, so this is a page from the GitHub CLI manual and it's literally all about gh-discussion-comment — the vibe is giving "let me manage my discussion comments real quick" and honestly? iconic. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

gh-discussion-comment — add, edit, or delete a comment or a reply on a discussion (preview) 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

gh discussion comment {<number> | <discussion-url> | <comment-id> |
<comment-url>} [flags]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So like, this command manages comments or replies on a GitHub discussion. That's the whole thing. Lowkey elegant, ngl. 💅

The positional argument can be one of two flavors:

• a discussion number or URL → this is how you add a brand new top-level comment
• a comment node ID or comment URL → this is how you reply to, edit, or delete that specific comment

When the argument is a discussion number or URL, the default action is to add a new top-level comment. And likewise (love a "likewise" moment), if the argument is a comment URL or ID, the default action is to add a reply. 🦋

Then you've got your switches:

• use --edit to update the comment/reply body
• use --delete to remove it entirely

And where does the body come from, you ask? You can supply it via --body, via --body-file, or interactively through an editor. Three options, all slaying. 💖

🔥 OPTIONS 🔥

• -b, --body <string> — the comment body text, like the actual words you're saying 💬
• -F, --body-file <string> — read the body text from a file (pass "-" to read from standard input, cute)
• --delete — delete the specified comment 👋
• --edit — edit the specified comment ✏️
• -R, --repo <[HOST/]OWNER/REPO> — pick a different repository using the [HOST/]OWNER/REPO format
• --yes — skip the delete confirmation prompt, living dangerously (but efficiently) 💀

⭐ EXIT CODES ⭐

• 0 — successful execution, we ate 👑
• 1 — error, tragic 😭
• 2 — command canceled
• 4 — authentication required, go log in bestie 🙈

NOTE: Specific commands may have additional exit codes. Refer to the command's help for more information. iykyk 💜
