.SH NAME
gt-issue-comment-create - Add a comment to an issue


.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBgt issue comment create {<number> | <url>} [flags]\fP


.SH DESCRIPTION
Add a comment to an issue

.SS ARGUMENTS
.EX
An issue can be supplied as argument in any of the following formats:
- by number, e.g. "123" or "#123"
- by URL, e.g. "https://gitea.com/OWNER/REPO/issues/123"
- by repository and number, e.g. "OWNER/REPO#123"

Several issues must be in one repository. Next to "OWNER/REPO#123" or a URL, "124" means
OWNER/REPO#124, unless gt targets another repository otherwise, such as the clone's, --repo
or GITEA_CLI_REPO: then the command fails, and the number must be qualified.
