gh command line fetch the comment for a git commit by its hash

How to fetch the github comment associated with the commit hash on a project?

Lets say we have this github commit https://github.com/actions/checkout/commit/5126516654c75f76bca1de45dd82a3006d8890f9

How to fetch its comments using command line gh command? Github cli? https://github.com/cli/cli

Solution

  • I just tried the gh api approach, using the get commit API:

    get /repos/{owner}/{repo}/commits/{ref}

    gh api repos/actions/checkout/commits/5126516654c75f76bca1de45dd82a3006d8890f9 \
       --jq ".commit.message"

    Result:
