🌸 NAME 🌸

gh-issue-reopen — reopen issue. that's it. that's the whole vibe. you had an issue, someone closed it, and now we're bringing it BACK from the dead 🔥

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

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

so you gotta hand it either the issue <number> or the <url> — like, pick one, bestie, it's giving "choose your fighter" 🦋 and then optionally sprinkle some [flags] on top.

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -c, --comment <string> — adds a reopening comment. it takes a <string> — so like, a little note that says "hey I'm back" while the issue rises from the grave 😭 ngl this is the polite move.

👑 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 👑

these come down from the parent command, so they're not even yours, they're just ✨family✨

• -R, --repo <[HOST/]OWNER/REPO> — lets you pick a whole other repository, using the [HOST/]OWNER/REPO format. note the brackets, queen — the [HOST/] part is how you'd point at a specific host 🧚
