FAQPage Schema
How do I view and search GitHub issues from the command line?▼

Use gh issue list to view issues, gh issue view [number] to inspect a specific issue, and gh issue view [number] --comments to include comments. Filter by state or search across issues using gh's built-in flags to narrow results within your repository.

Can I review pull request diffs and check PR status without leaving the terminal?▼

Yes. Use gh pr view [number] --diff to display the full diff, gh pr diff [number] --name-only to list changed files, and gh pr view [number] to check status. All operations run via gh CLI within your repository context.

How do I fetch file content from a GitHub repository using the gh CLI?▼

Use gh api repos/[owner]/[repo]/contents/[path] to retrieve file contents from the current or specified branch. The Skill wraps gh CLI calls to return structured results for file inspection.

What GitHub repository information can I access from Claude?▼

View repo details, clone a repository, and check workflow runs and PR checks. Use gh repo view for metadata, and gh run list to inspect CI/CD status directly from your terminal session.

Does this work with private repositories and require authentication?▼

Yes. The gh CLI handles GitHub authentication via stored credentials. Ensure gh is logged in with appropriate permissions for your private repositories before running commands through this Skill.
