gh-issue:tldr:63c7e

gh-issue: Reopen a specific issue.
$ gh issue reopen ${issue_number}
try on your machine

The command you mentioned is using the GitHub CLI (Command Line Interface) to reopen a closed issue on a GitHub repository.

Here's a breakdown of each component of the command:

  • gh: It is the prefix for all GitHub CLI commands.
  • issue: It is the command provided by the GitHub CLI to perform actions related to issues.
  • reopen: It is an option of the issue command that instructs GitHub to reopen a closed issue.
  • ${issue_number}: It is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual number of the issue you want to reopen. The issue number is a unique identifier assigned to each issue present in a repository.

So, replacing ${issue_number} with the specific issue number (e.g., 123), the complete command would be: gh issue reopen 123. This command, when executed, will reopen the issue with number 123 on the GitHub repository you are currently working on.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
