Thanks for the tip!

I can't wrap my head around one thing, though: wouldn't that count comments only up to 100, as more comments would be paginated? 🤔

I wonder if issue endpoint would be better for this task, as it seems to contain comments property with the comments count.

Here we go, and thanks a lot for having pointed this to us, see that trick @mbarre :

gh api -X GET \
  -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.v3+json" \
  -F per_page=100 \
  /repos/ORGA/REPO/issues/ISSUID | \
  jq '.comments'
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

... I could get :

149

within a single shot 😊
