GH-DISCUSSION-EDIT(1)

🎀 gh-discussion-edit(1) 🎀

ok so this is a page from the GitHub CLI manual — welcome to the discussion-edit zone bestie, it's giving preview energy ✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

gh-discussion-edit — literally edits a discussion (and yes it's still in preview, we're early adopters 💅)

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

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

k so you feed it either a <number> or a <discussion-url>, and then any [flags] you want. pick your fighter 🫶

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Edits a GitHub Discussion. that's the whole thing. iconic behavior, no notes 💖

Here's the tea though: if you don't pass any flags, the command runs interactively when it's connected to a terminal — so it just opens up and asks you stuff like a little chat 🧚

Wanna be all business instead? Use flags to update specific fields non-interactively. main character energy either way 👑

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• --add-label <name> — adds labels by name ✨
• -b, --body <string> — the new body for the discussion, fresh out the group chat 💬
• -F, --body-file <string> — reads the body text from a file (and psst: use "-" to read from standard input) 🍓
• -c, --category <string> — the new category name or slug for the discussion, your pick 🎀
• --remove-label <name> — removes labels by name, bye bestie 👋
• -R, --repo <[HOST/]OWNER/REPO> — select another repository using the [HOST/]OWNER/REPO format 🌈
• -t, --title <string> — the new title for the discussion, make it catchy 🦋

---

NOTE: Specific commands may have additional exit codes. Refer to the command's help for more information. (fr fr, always check the help 🫶)
