PR Review Summary
# Get PR overview for review
PR=55 REPO=owner/repo
echo "## PR #$PR Summary"
gh pr view $PR --repo $REPO --json title,body,author,additions,deletions,changedFiles \
--jq '"**\(.title)** by @\(.author.login)\n\n\(.body)\n\n📊 +\(.additions) -\(.deletions) across \(.changedFiles) files"'
gh pr checks $PR --repo $REPO

--jq '.[] | "[\(.number)] \(.title) - \([.labels[].name] | join(", ")) (\(.createdAt[:10]))"'
Notes
-
Always specify
--repo owner/repowhen not in a git directory -
Use URLs directly:
gh pr view https://github.com/owner/repo/pull/55 -
Rate limits apply; use
gh api --cache 1hfor repeated queries
