PR Commenter is a tool to automate the process of commenting on GitHub pull requests. It allows you to specify a PR and post or edit comments programmatically. This tool is particularly useful for CI/CD pipelines, automated feedback systems, or any application where automated comments on pull requests are required.
Download release from GitHub Releases page or install via go install:

pr-commenter [flags]Certainly! Improving the descriptions can provide more clarity to users. Here's a more detailed version:
-
-key-from-file: Specifies the path where the private key file is located. This key is used for authentication and making authorized requests.
-
-key-from-env-var:Instead of reading the private key from a file, you can store it as a base64-encoded string in an environment variable. This flag denotes the name of that environment variable.
-
-pr-comment: Identifies the specific Pull Request (by its number) you want to post or edit a comment on.
-
-prefix: When you want to edit a comment, this prefix helps identify which one. If there are multiple comments, the tool will look for a comment starting with this prefix to edit. If no prefix is set, it will default to editing the first comment.
-
-application-id: Each GitHub application has a unique ID. This flag is used to specify the ID of the GitHub application in context.
-
-repository: The name of the GitHub repository where the Pull Request resides.
-
-org:If the repository is part of a GitHub organization (as opposed to a user), specify the organization's name with this flag.
