GT-PR-CHECKS(1)                gitea-cli Manual                GT-PR-CHECKS(1)



NAME
       gt-pr-checks - Show the status checks of a pull request



SYNOPSIS
       gt pr checks [<number> | <url> | <branch>] [flags]



DESCRIPTION
       Show the latest status of each check of a pull request's head commit.


       gt exits with 8 while checks are pending and with 1 when a check
       failed, like gh. With --watch, it waits until every check finished, or
       one failed, and polls on through an outage of the instance of up to 5
       minutes. With --required, only the checks that the branch protection of
       the base branch requires are shown and awaited, so that a flaky
       optional check does not hold a merge back. A required check that has
       not reported yet is pending under the name of its pattern, a rule
       without patterns requires every check, and gt fails when the base
       branch requires none.


   ARGUMENTS
       A pull request can be supplied as argument in any of the following formats:
       - by number, such as "13" or "#13"
       - by URL, such as "https://gitea.com/OWNER/REPO/pulls/13"
       - by the name of its head branch, such as "feature/login" or "bob:feature/login"; a branch that
         reads as OWNER/REPO#N, such as "fix/login#2", needs the OWNER:BRANCH form

       Without an argument, the pull request of the current branch is selected.
