gt-issue-view(1)

gt-issue-view1

View an issue

Usage

gt issue view {<number> | <url>} [flags]

Overview

Display the title, body and other information about an issue. With --comments, the conversation follows the body. The blocked_by and blocks JSON fields cost extra requests, made only when the output includes them (see gt help formatting).

Arguments

An issue can be supplied as argument in any of the following formats:
- by number, e.g. "123" or "#123"
- by URL, e.g. "https://gitea.com/OWNER/REPO/issues/123"
- by repository and number, e.g. "OWNER/REPO#123"
Several issues must be in one repository. Next to "OWNER/REPO#123" or a URL, "124" means
OWNER/REPO#124, unless gt targets another repository otherwise, such as the clone's, --repo
or GITEA_CLI_REPO: then the command fails, and the number must be qualified.
