Review a pull request or manage its reviews

## Synopsis

```text
Submit a review on a pull request, or manage existing reviews with the commands below.

Choose the review type with --approve, --request-changes or --comment. On a terminal, leaving
the type out opens an interactive review that also offers to annotate the diff in your editor.

Gitea adds a review to your pending review on the pull request, if you have one, which publishes
the pending review's inline comments; gt asks first, and without a terminal needs --yes. A body
you give replaces the pending review's body, which gt warns about; without one, it is kept.
```

```
gt pr review [<number> | <url> | <branch>] [flags]
```

## Examples

```
# Approve the pull request of the current branch
$ gt pr review --approve

# Request changes on #13
$ gt pr review 13 -r -b "Please hash the password"

# Start a pending review with inline comments, then submit it
$ gt pr review 13 --pending --comments-file inline.json
$ gt pr review submit 13 --approve
```

## Options

```
  -a, --approve              Approve the pull request
  -b, --body string          Review body
  -F, --body-file file       Read the body from file, or - for stdin
  -c, --comment              Comment without approving (requires a body or inline comments, which can be those of the pending review it publishes; an empty --body clears that review's body when it has inline comments, and is refused otherwise)
      --comments-file file   Read inline comments from a JSON file: an array of path, body, and new_position or old_position on a line of the diff
      --commit sha           Commit sha to review (default: the head of the pull request)
  -e, --editor               Write the body in your editor
  -h, --help                 help for review
      --pending              Save the review as pending, to submit later with gt pr review submit
  -r, --request-changes      Request changes (requires a body)
```
