SYNOPSIS

gh discussion view {<number> | <discussion-url> | <comment-id> | <comment-url>} [flags]

DESCRIPTION

Display the title, body, and other information about a discussion.

To see the comments on a discussion, pass --comments. A few latest replies of each comment will also be retrieved regardless of the selected ordering.

Pagination and ordering can be controlled via --order, --limit, and --after flags.

Use --web to open the discussion or comment in a web browser instead.
