Get PR Review Comments

Retrieve and analyze all review comments from a pull request.

When to Use

• Checking for unresolved review feedback
• Analyzing reviewer feedback before fixing
• Verifying all comments have been addressed
• Getting comment IDs for replies

Quick Reference

# Get all review comments
gh api repos/OWNER/REPO/pulls/PR/comments

# Get comments with formatting
gh api repos/OWNER/REPO/pulls/PR/comments \
  --jq '.[] | {id: .id, path: .path, body: .body}'

# Filter by reviewer
gh api repos/OWNER/REPO/pulls/PR/comments \
  --jq '.[] | select(.user.login == "username")'

# Get only unresolved comments
gh api repos/OWNER/REPO/pulls/PR/comments \
  --jq '.[] | select(.in_reply_to_id == null)'

Workflow

1. Fetch comments: Use API to list all comments
2. Parse output: Extract IDs and feedback
3. Analyze feedback: Understand what needs fixing
4. Plan fixes: Decide how to address each comment
5. Apply fixes: Make the requested changes

Output Format

Comments include:

• id - Comment ID (use for replies)
• path - File where comment was made
• line - Line number of comment
• body - Comment text
• user - Reviewer username
• in_reply_to_id - Parent comment ID (null if top-level)

Error Handling

Problem	Solution
PR not found	Verify PR number
Auth failure	Check gh auth status
No comments	API returns empty array (not an error)
Permission denied	Check authentication scopes

Filtering Examples

Comments on specific file:

gh api repos/OWNER/REPO/pulls/PR/comments \
  --jq '.[] | select(.path == "src/file.mojo")'

Comments by specific reviewer:

gh api repos/OWNER/REPO/pulls/PR/comments \
  --jq '.[] | select(.user.login == "reviewer")'

Only top-level comments (not replies):

gh api repos/OWNER/REPO/pulls/PR/comments \
  --jq '.[] | select(.in_reply_to_id == null)'
