# gcli-comment(1)

Comment on tickets in git forges

## NAME

**gcli** **comment** – Comment on tickets in git forges

## SYNOPSIS

**gcli** \[**-y**\] \[**-o** *owner* **-r** *repo*\] \[**-i** *issue* \| **-p** *PR*\]

## DESCRIPTION

**gcli** can be used to add comments in the discussion under issues and pull requests on [git(1)](/git/1.md) forges such as Github, Gitlab and Gitea. Note that PRs are treated as issues on GitHub and Gitea, making the **-i** and **-p** flags exchangeable without changing the overall effect of creating the comment. **gcli** will open an editor, either specified in your environment through EDITOR or the one set in your global config file to enter the comment. See [gcli(1)](/gcli/1.md).

## OPTIONS

- **-o**, **--owner** *owner*

  Comment in the repository of the given owner. This option can only be used in combination with **-r**.

- **-r**, **--repo** *repo*

  Comment in the given repository. This option can only be used in combination with **-r**.

- **-y**, **--yes**

  Do not ask for confirmation before submitting the comment. Assume yes.

- **-i**, **--issue** *issue*

  Create the comment under issue *#issue*.

- **-p**, **--pull** *pr*

  Create the comment under PR *#pr*.

## EXAMPLES

Comment under PR #11 in the upstream repository:

```
$ gcli comment -p 11
```

Comment under issue 1 in herrhotzenplotz/gcli:

```
$ gcli comment -o herrhotzenplotz -r gcli -i 1
```

## BUGS

There is no way to preview the markdown markup, however you can input markdown which will be rendered on the remote site.

Please report bugs via E-Mail to *~herrhotzenplotz/gcli-discuss@lists.sr.ht*.

Alternatively you can report them on any of the forges linked at **https://herrhotzenplotz.de/gcli**. However, the preferred and quickest method is to use the mailing list.
