# gt-pr-review(1)

Review a pull request or manage its reviews

## NAME

gt-pr-review - Review a pull request or manage its reviews

## SYNOPSIS

**gt pr review \[\<number\> \| \<url\> \| \<branch\>\] \[flags\]**

## DESCRIPTION

Submit a review on a pull request, or manage existing reviews with the commands below.

Choose the review type with --approve, --request-changes or --comment. On a terminal, leaving the type out opens an interactive review that also offers to annotate the diff in your editor.

Gitea adds a review to your pending review on the pull request, if you have one, which publishes the pending review's inline comments; gt asks first, and without a terminal needs --yes. A body you give replaces the pending review's body, which gt warns about; without one, it is kept.

### ARGUMENTS

```
A pull request can be supplied as argument in any of the following formats:
- by number, such as "13" or "#13"
- by URL, such as "https://gitea.com/OWNER/REPO/pulls/13"
- by the name of its head branch, such as "feature/login" or "bob:feature/login"; a branch that
  reads as OWNER/REPO#N, such as "fix/login#2", needs the OWNER:BRANCH form
Without an argument, the pull request of the current branch is selected.
```

### JSON FIELDS

```
author, body, comments_count, commit, dismissed, id, official, stale, state,
submitted_at, team, url
