# gh-run-view(1)

View a summary of a workflow run

## NAME

gh-run-view - View a summary of a workflow run

## SYNOPSIS

**gh run view \[\<run-id\>\] \[flags\]**

## DESCRIPTION

View a summary of a workflow run.

Due to platform limitations, **gh** may not always be able to associate jobs with their corresponding logs when using the primary method of fetching logs in zip format.

In such cases, **gh** will attempt to fetch logs for each job individually via the API. This fallback is slower and more resource-intensive. If more than 25 job logs are missing, the operation will fail with an error.

Additionally, due to similar platform constraints, some log lines may not be associated with a specific step within a job. In these cases, the step name will appear as **UNKNOWN STEP** in the log output.

## OPTIONS

- **-a**, **--attempt** **\<uint\> (default 0)**

  The attempt number of the workflow run

- **--exit-status**

  Exit with non-zero status if run failed

- **-j**, **--job** **\<string\>**

  View a specific job ID from a run

- **-q**, **--jq** **\<expression\>**

  Filter JSON output using a jq expression

- **--json** **\<fields\>**

  Output JSON with the specified fields

- **--log**

  View full log for either a run or specific job

- **--log-failed**

  View the log for any failed steps in a run or specific job

- **-t**, **--template** **\<string\>**

  Format JSON output using a Go template; see "gh help formatting"

- **-v**, **--verbose**

  Show job steps

- **-w**, **--web**

  Open run in the browser

## OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS

- **-R**, **--repo** **\<\[HOST/\]OWNER/REPO\>**

  Select another repository using the \[HOST/\]OWNER/REPO format

## JSON FIELDS

**attempt**, **conclusion**, **createdAt**, **databaseId**, **displayTitle**, **event**, **headBranch**, **headSha**, **jobs**, **name**, **number**, **startedAt**, **status**, **updatedAt**, **url**, **workflowDatabaseId**, **workflowName**
