How do I query GitHub discussions and filter by author or category?โ–ผ

Query GitHub discussions by running the GitHub CLI with JSON output and applying a jq filter to extract structured fields like number, title, author, category, and labels from a specified repository.

Can I retrieve GitHub discussions from multiple repositories at once?โ–ผ

Yes, you can perform cross-repo queries by providing specific owner/repo inputs to retrieve discussions, returning fields such as number, title, body, comments, answer, and url across repositories.

Do I need GitHub CLI and jq installed to query GitHub discussions?โ–ผ

What fields are available when extracting GitHub discussions with jq?โ–ผ

Available fields include number, title, author, createdAt, updatedAt, body, category, labels, comments, answer, and url. If no jq filter is provided, the query returns the schema instead of data.

How do I limit the number of GitHub discussions returned by a query?โ–ผ

You can limit the number of GitHub discussions returned by passing the --limit parameter to the query. You can also specify the target repository using --repo and apply filters using --jq.
