Get PR Review Comments

Retrieve and analyze all review comments from a pull request.

When to Use

• Checking for unresolved review feedback
• Analyzing reviewer feedback before fixing
• Verifying all comments have been addressed
• Getting comment IDs for replies

Quick Reference

Copy# Get all review comments
gh api repos/OWNER/REPO/pulls/PR/comments

# Get comments with formatting
gh api repos/OWNER/REPO/pulls/PR/comments \
  --jq '.[] | {id: .id, path: .path, body: .body}'

# Filter by reviewer
gh api repos/OWNER/REPO/pulls/PR/comments \
  --jq '.[] | select(.user.login == "username")'

# Get only unresolved comments
gh api repos/OWNER/REPO/pulls/PR/comments \
  --jq '.[] | select(.in_reply_to_id == null)'

Workflow

1. Fetch comments: Use API to list all comments
2. Parse output: Extract IDs and feedback
3. Analyze feedback: Understand what needs fixing
4. Plan fixes: Decide how to address each comment
5. Apply fixes: Make the requested changes

Output Format

Comments include:

• id - Comment ID (use for replies)
• path - File where comment was made
• line - Line number of comment
• body - Comment text
• user - Reviewer username
• in_reply_to_id - Parent comment ID (null if top-level)

Error Handling

Filtering Examples

Comments on specific file:

Copygh api repos/OWNER/REPO/pulls/PR/comments \
  --jq '.[] | select(.path == "src/file.mojo")'

Comments by specific reviewer:

Copygh api repos/OWNER/REPO/pulls/PR/comments \
  --jq '.[] | select(.user.login == "reviewer")'

Only top-level comments (not replies):

Copygh api repos/OWNER/REPO/pulls/PR/comments \
  --jq '.[] | select(.in_reply_to_id == null)'
