GH-ISSUE-VIEW(1)

💅 gh-issue-view(1) — like, the GitHub CLI manual, bestie 🎀

okay so this is gh-issue-view, straight out of the GitHub CLI manual, and it's literally the glow-up your terminal needed. sit down, grab a strawberry drink 🍓, and let's get into it.

---

✨ NAME ✨

gh-issue-view — view an issue 👀 (yes, that's it, that's the whole vibe)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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

so you give it either a <number> or a <url>, pick your fighter, and then sprinkle on whatever [flags] you want. icon behavior only 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

it displays the title, body, and other information about an issue. like, the whole picture, not just a teaser. no gatekeeping here 🫶

and with the --web flag? it opens the issue in a web browser instead. browser mode activated, main character energy, periodt 🌈

---

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• -c, --comments — view issue comments. the discourse! the replies! you get to see all of it 💬
• -q, --jq <expression> — filter JSON output using a jq expression. yes bestie, you can be picky about your JSON 🔥
• --json <fields> — output JSON with the specified fields. only the fields you asked for, nothing more, we respect boundaries ✨
• -t, --template <string> — format JSON output using a Go template; see gh help formatting. fancy formatting, you love to see it 🎀
• -w, --web — open an issue in the browser. touch grass (the issue, in a tab) 🌱

---

🧚 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🧚

• -R, --repo <[HOST/]OWNER/REPO> — select another repository using the [HOST/]OWNER/REPO format. it's giving "not my usual repo but make it fashion" 💜

---

⭐ JSON FIELDS ⭐

these are the fields you can ask for, in a big gorgeous list:

assignees, author, blockedBy, blocking, body, closed, closedAt, closedByPullRequestsReferences, comments, createdAt, id, isPinned, issueType, labels, milestone, number, parent, projectCards, projectItems, reactionGroups, state, stateReason, subIssues, subIssuesSummary, title, updatedAt, url

no cap, that's all of them. screenshot it, memorize it, put it on your wall 🖼️
