GitHub Reviews

Blocks for creating and managing GitHub pull request reviews and review comments.

Github Create Comment Object

What it is

Creates a comment object for use with GitHub blocks. Note: For review comments, only path, body, and position are used. Side fields are only for standalone PR comments.

How it works

This block creates a structured comment object that can be used with GitHub review blocks. It formats the comment data according to GitHub API requirements, including file path, body text, and position information.

For review comments, only path, body, and position fields are used. The side, start_line, and start_side fields are only applicable for standalone PR comments, not review comments.

Github Create PR Review

This block creates a review on a GitHub pull request with optional inline comments. You can create it as a draft or post immediately. Note: For inline comments, 'position' should be the line number in the diff (starting from the first @@ hunk header).

How it works

This block creates a code review on a GitHub pull request using the Reviews API. Reviews can include a summary comment and optionally inline comments on specific lines of code in the diff.
