Viewing workflow run history

Read access to the repository is required to perform these steps.

  1. On your GitHub Enterprise Server instance, navigate to the main page of the repository.
  2. Under your repository name, click Actions. Actions tab in the main repository navigation

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, GitHub 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"
