💅 GH-ISSUE-PIN(1) — the GitHub CLI manual, bestie edition

okay so real talk, this is the page for gh-issue-pin from the GitHub CLI manual, and it's genuinely so simple it's giving one-job-one-vibe. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

gh-issue-pin — pin an issue. that's it. that's the whole personality. 📌

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

gh issue pin {<number> | <url>} [flags]

so you either hand it a <number> or a <url>, pick one, you don't need both, and then flags are optional because of course they are 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Pin an issue to a repository. 🎀

The issue can be specified by issue number or URL — like, whichever one your brain has handy in the moment. no stress, both slay.

✨ OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS ✨

these aren't even its own options, it just inherited them from its parents, main character energy honestly 👑

  • -R, --repo <[HOST/]OWNER/REPO> — Select another repository using the [HOST/]OWNER/REPO format. so like, you're not locked into the current repo, you can point at a totally different one. iconic ✨

✨ EXIT CODES ✨

the vibe check at the end of every run 💀 here's what the numbers mean:

  • 0: Successful execution — ate and left no crumbs 🔥
  • 1: Error — something went sideways 😭
  • 2: Command canceled — you (or something) hit the brakes 🙈
  • 4: Authentication required — you gotta prove who you are first 🔐
NOTE: Specific commands may have additional exit codes. Refer to the command's help for more information. so don't come for me if you see a number that isn't on this list, check the command's own help bestie 🫶

✨ EXAMPLE ✨

like, actual examples, in code, verbatim, no cap:

# Pin an issue to the current repository
$ gh issue pin 23

# Pin an issue by URL
$ gh issue pin https://github.com/owner/repo/issues/23

# Pin an issue to specific repository
$ gh issue pin 23 --repo owner/repo

three ways, all valid, all gorgeous. 23 by number in the current repo, the full https://github.com/owner/repo/issues/23 URL if that's more your thing, or 23 plus --repo owner/repo when you're being specific about where it lands 🌸
