GitHub/CLI/How to/Update an Issue from a local markdown file

• Basic idea
  • 1. Using gh issue edit:
    bash

    # Edit issue content from a file
    gh issue edit <issue-number> --body-file path/to/file.md

    1. Using gh issue comment to add the file content as a comment:

       bash

       # Add file content as a comment
       gh issue comment <issue-number> --body-file path/to/file.md

       Additional useful options:

  • Use -t or --title to update the issue title at the same time
  • Use - as the filename to read from stdin
  • Use --editor to open your default editor with the current content
  • Examples:
    bash

    # Update issue #123 with content from update.md
    gh issue edit 123 --body-file update.md
    
    # Update both title and body
    gh issue edit 123 --title "New Title" --body-file update.md
    
    # Add markdown file content as a comment
    gh issue comment 123 --body-file comment.md
