glab-issue-note(1)

glab-issue-note1

Comment on an issue in gitlab.

Usage

glab issue note [flags]

Overview

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.
