# glab-issue-note(1)

Comment on an issue in GitLab.

## NAME

glab-issue-note - Comment on an issue in GitLab.

## SYNOPSIS

**glab issue note  \[flags\]**

## DESCRIPTION

Opens an editor for the comment if you don't use **--message**.

**--attach** uploads a file and references it at the end of the comment. Repeat the flag for more than one file, or pass **-** to read the file from standard input. An attachment is content on its own, so a comment with only **--attach** skips the editor.

The **--attach** flag is an experiment. It might be unstable or removed at any time, and is not ready for production use. For more information, see https://docs.gitlab.com/policy/development\_stages\_support/.

## OPTIONS

**--attach**=\[\]\
 	(EXPERIMENTAL) Upload a file and reference it at the end of the comment. Use "-" to read the file from standard input. Repeat the flag to attach multiple files.

**--internal**\[=false\]\
 	Create the note as an internal note, visible only to project members.

**-m**, **--message**=""\
 	Message text.

## OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS

**-h**, **--help**\[=false\]\
 	Show help for this command.

**-R**, **--repo**=""\
 	Select another repository. You can use either OWNER/REPO or GROUP/NAMESPACE/REPO. The full URL or Git URL is also accepted.

## EXAMPLE

```
# Comment on issue 123, opening an editor for the message
glab issue note 123
# Comment with the message given inline
glab issue note 123 --message "Looking into this now."
