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

# 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

  • id
    - Comment ID (use for replies)
  • path
    - File where comment was made
  • line
    - Line number of comment
  • body
    - Comment text
  • user
