# GitHub

Use `gh` for GitHub. Use `git` for local commits/branches/push/pull. Use code-reading tools for deep reviews.

## Auth

```bash
gh auth status
gh auth login
```

Gateway HOME can differ from operator HOME. If `gh` auth exists elsewhere, set `GH_CONFIG_DIR` in the gateway service env and restart.

## PRs

```bash
gh pr list --repo owner/repo --json number,title,state,author,url
gh pr view 55 --repo owner/repo --json title,body,author,files,commits,reviews,reviewDecision
gh pr checks 55 --repo owner/repo
gh pr diff 55 --repo owner/repo
gh pr create --repo owner/repo --title "feat: title" --body-file /tmp/pr.md
gh pr merge 55 --repo owner/repo --squash
```

URLs work directly: `gh pr view https://github.com/owner/repo/pull/55`.

## Issues

```bash
gh issue list --repo owner/repo --state open --json number,title,labels,url
gh issue view 42 --repo owner/repo --json title,body,comments,labels,state
gh issue create --repo owner/repo --title "Bug: ..." --body-file /tmp/issue.md
gh issue comment 42 --repo owner/repo --body-file /tmp/comment.md
gh issue close 42 --repo owner/repo --comment "Fixed in ..."
```

## CI/runs

```bash
gh run list --repo owner/repo --limit 10
gh run view <run-id> --repo owner/repo --json status,conclusion,headSha,url
gh run view <run-id> --repo owner/repo --log-
