💅 glab(1) manual — glab-mr-note-update edition 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

glab-mr-note-update — update the body of a note on a merge request. (EXPERIMENTAL) 🧪✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

glab mr note update [ | ]  [flags]

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Okay so this command replaces the body of an existing note on a merge request. That’s the whole gig, bestie. 💅

<note-id> is a numeric note ID, not a hex discussion ID. You can find note IDs with:

• glab mr note list -F json — look at the .id field 👀
• Note URLs: .../merge_requests/1#note_12345

You can change only the note body. You cannot move the position of diff notes. No repositioning, periodt. 🚫

--attach uploads a file and references it at the end of the note. Repeat the flag for more than one file, or pass - to read the file from standard input. Without --message, the references are added to the body the note already has, instead of replacing it. Very important, don’t skip that part. 🫶

⚠️ This feature is an experiment and is not ready for production use. It might be unstable or removed at any time. For more information, see https://docs.gitlab.com/policy/development_stages_support/. Bestie, it’s giving experimental for a reason. 💀

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• --attach=[] — (EXPERIMENTAL) Upload a file and reference it at the end of the note. Use "-" to read the file from standard input. Repeat the flag to attach multiple files. 📎
• -m, --message="" — New note body. If omitted, opens an editor or reads from stdin. ✍️

🌈 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🌈

• -h, --help[=false] — Show help for this command. 🙋‍♀️
• -R, --repo="" — Select another repository. You can use either OWNER/REPO or GROUP/NAMESPACE/REPO. The full URL or Git URL is also accepted. 🔁

💖 EXAMPLE 💖

# Update note 12345 on merge request 1 with a new message
