gh discussion comment

gh discussion comment {<number> | <discussion-url> | <comment-id> | <comment-url>} [flags]

Manage comments or replies on a GitHub discussion.

The positional argument can be a discussion number or URL (to add a new top-level comment), or a comment node ID or comment URL (to reply, edit, or delete that comment).

Use --edit to update the comment/reply body, or --delete to remove it.

The body can be supplied via --body, --body-file, or interactively through an editor.
