💅 gh-issue-artifact-view(1) — the GitHub CLI manual, bestie edition

okay so this is a page from the GitHub CLI manual, and honestly? it's giving "niche but iconic." we're looking at gh-issue-artifact-view, one of the gh girlies. let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

gh-issue-artifact-view — view an issue artifact (and yes, it's a preview feature, so act accordingly 🫶)

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

gh issue artifact view {<issue> <artifact-number> | <artifact-url>}
[flags]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So what does it actually do? It displays an issue artifact's name, type, authors, content, and edit history. And a link? it shows its URL. periodt.

You name the artifact one of two ways, bestie — by its issue and number, or by its URL. and <issue> itself can be an issue number or a URL. flexible queen 💅

By default you get the current version. want to time-travel? use --version to show an earlier version from the edit history. lowkey iconic.

With --web, it opens a document's page on GitHub, or a link's URL. very "open in new tab" of it 🌈
