GitHub Issue View

When to use

• The user asks to see an issue's status, details, or comments.

Inputs to confirm

• Issue number or URL.
• Whether comments or JSON output are needed.
• Target repo if not current (--repo OWNER/REPO).

Workflow

1. Verify auth:

``bash gh --version gh auth status ``

1. View issue summary:

``bash gh issue view 123 ``

1. View comments or JSON:

``bash gh issue view 123 --comments gh issue view 123 --json number,title,state,labels --jq '.title' ``

1. Optional web view:

``bash gh issue view 123 --web ``

Examples

# Get title and state via JSON
~ gh issue view 123 --json title,state --jq '"\(.title) (\(.state))"'

Notes

• --template supports Go templates; see gh help formatting.
