GitHub operations: cleanup and commenting.
Overview
mx github groups operations that interact with
GitHub repositories beyond the commit-and-merge workflow covered by
commit and PR.
Currently this means two things: bulk cleanup of issues and
discussions, and posting comments to either.
Cleanup
mx github cleanup <repo>
Close issues and delete discussions in a GitHub repository.
Useful for sweeping stale tracking items after a batch of work
lands. Both flags are optional, but at least one must be provided –
the command does nothing if neither --issues nor
--discussions is set.
Flags
| Flag | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
repo |
positional | Repository in owner/repo format. |
--issues |
string | Comma-separated issue numbers to close. |
--discussions |
string | Comma-separated discussion numbers to delete. |
--dry-run |
flag | Show what would be done without making any changes. |
Examples
mx github cleanup coryzibell/mx --issues 10,11,12mx github cleanup coryzibell/mx --discussions 5,8mx github cleanup coryzibell/mx --issues 10 --discussions 5 --dry-runTIP: Run with --dry-run first to
verify the target list before closing or deleting anything. Deleted
discussions cannot be recovered.
Commenting
mx github comment posts a comment to an issue or
discussion. Both subcommands accept an optional
--identity flag that appends a signature line to the
comment, useful when multiple agents or personas share a GitHub
account.
Issues
mx github comment issue <repo> <number> <message>
Post a comment on a GitHub issue.
