Resolve Review Threads (GraphQL)

The gh CLI has no built-in command for resolving PR conversations. Use GraphQL.

List all threads on a PR

gh api graphql -f query='
  query($owner: String!, $repo: String!, $number: Int!) {
    repository(owner: $owner, name: $repo) {
      pullRequest(number: $number) {
        reviewThreads(first: 100) {
          nodes {
            id
            isResolved
            path
            line
            comments(first: 1) {
              nodes { body author { login } }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
' -f owner=OWNER -f repo=REPO -F number=PR_NUMBER

Resolve a single thread

gh api graphql -f query='
  mutation($threadId: ID!) {
    resolveReviewThread(input: {threadId: $threadId}) {
      thread { isResolved }
    }
  }
' -f threadId=THREAD_ID

Resolve all unresolved threads on a PR

OWNER="owner" REPO="repo" PR=123

THREADS=$(gh api graphql -f query='
  query($owner: String!, $repo: String!, $number: Int!) {
    repository(owner: $owner, name: $repo) {
      pullRequest(number: $number) {
        reviewThreads(first: 100) {
          nodes { id isResolved }
        }
      }
    }
  }
' -f owner="$OWNER" -f repo="$REPO" -F number="$PR" \
  --jq '.data.repository.pullRequest.reviewThreads.nodes[] | select(.isResolved == false) | .id')

for THREAD_ID in $THREADS; do
  gh api graphql -f query='
    mutation($threadId: ID!) {
      resolveReviewThread(input: {threadId: $threadId}) {
        thread { isResolved }
      }
    }
  ' -f threadId="$THREAD_ID"
  echo "Resolved: $THREAD_ID"
done

Reply to a review thread

gh api graphql -f query='
  mutation($threadId: ID!, $body: String!) {
    addPullRequestReviewThreadReply(input: {pullRequestReviewThreadId: $threadId, body: $body}) {
      comment { body }
    }
  }
' -f threadId=THREAD_ID -f body="Fixed in latest commit."

Unresolve a thread

gh api graphql -f query='
  mutation($threadId: ID!) {
    unresolveReviewThread(input: {threadId: $threadId}) {
      thread { isResolved }
    }
  }
' -f threadId=THREAD_ID

JSON Output & Scripting

Use --json with --jq for structured data:

# Get PR files changed
gh pr view 42 --json files --jq '.files[].path'

# Get all approvers
gh pr view 42 --json reviews --jq '[.reviews[] | select(.state == "APPROVED") | .author.login]'

# Count open issues by label
gh issue list --json labels --jq '[.[].labels[].name] | group_by(.) | map({(.[0]): length}) | add'

# Get failed workflow run branches
gh run list --status failure --json headBranch --jq '[.[].headBranch] | unique'

GraphQL API (Advanced)

For anything not covered by built-in commands:

# Generic pattern
gh api graphql -f query='QUERY_OR_MUTATION' -f varName=value -F numericVar=42

# Check if PR is mergeable
gh api graphql -f query='
  query($owner: String!, $repo: String!, $pr: Int!) {
    repository(owner: $owner, name: $repo) {
      pullRequest(number: $pr) {
        mergeable
        mergeStateStatus
        reviewDecision
      }
    }
  }
' -f owner=OWNER -f repo=REPO -F pr=42

# REST API shorthand
gh api repos/owner/repo/pulls/42/comments    # List PR comments
gh api repos/owner/repo/issues/123/comments   # List issue comments
