Viewing recent workflow runs
To list the recent workflow runs, use the run list subcommand.
gh run list
To specify the maximum number of runs to return, you can use the -L or --limit flag . The default is 10.
gh run list --limit 5
To only return runs for the specified workflow, you can use the -w or --workflow flag. Replace workflow with either the workflow name, workflow ID, or workflow file name. For example, "Link Checker", 1234567, or "link-check-test.yml".
gh run list --workflow WORKFLOW
Viewing details for a specific workflow run
To display details for a specific workflow run, use the run view subcommand. Replace run-id with the ID of the run that you want to view. If you don't specify a run-id, {% data variables.product.prodname_cli %} returns an interactive menu for you to choose a recent run.
gh run view RUN_ID
To include job steps in the output, use the -v or --verbose flag.
gh run view RUN_ID --verbose
To view details for a specific job in the run, use the -j or --job flag. Replace job-id with the ID of the job that you want to view.
gh run view --job JOB_ID
To view the full log for a job, use the --log flag.
gh run view --job JOB_ID --log
Use the --exit-status flag to exit with a non-zero status if the run failed. For example:
gh run view 0451 --exit-status && echo "run pending or passed"
