name: c-github description: Interact with GitHub using the gh CLI and jq. Manage PRs, issues, repositories, and Actions workflows. Make raw API calls with gh api for anything not covered by built-in commands. tags: [github, git, prs, issues, actions, ci, repos, api]

What This Skill Does

Uses gh (GitHub CLI) and jq to manage GitHub resources including pull requests, issues, repositories, and Actions. Supports raw API calls for advanced queries.

CLI Tools: gh + jq

Pull Requests

gh pr list                          # List open PRs
gh pr view 123                      # View PR details
gh pr create --title "Fix bug" --body "..." --base main
gh pr merge 123 --squash
gh pr checkout 123
gh pr review 123 --approve

Issues

gh issue list --state open
gh issue view 42
gh issue create --title "Bug" --body "..." --label bug
gh issue close 42
gh issue comment 42 --body "Fixed in #123"

Actions / CI

gh run list                         # List recent workflow runs
gh run view 123456789               # View run details
gh run watch                        # Watch current run live
gh workflow run deploy.yml

API Calls with jq

gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls | jq '.[].title'
gh api /user/repos | jq '.[].full_name'
gh api graphql -f query='{ viewer { login } }'

Usage Guidelines

1. Default to the current repo context when no --repo flag is specified.
2. Use jq to filter and format gh api JSON output for readability.
3. For bulk operations, pipe gh issue list --json number,title into jq.
4. Always confirm before closing issues or merging PRs.

Notes

• Requires gh auth login to be completed before use.
• Install: brew install gh and brew install jq
