Comment command
You can add comments to an issue by typing a comment. It is recommended that you use the syntax comment <repository> <issue_id> [Shift+Enter] <comment>
The following steps must be taken:
- You must enter the full name of the repository and the issue ID.
- To add a line to the text, press Shift + Enter.
- Write a comment here.
Disconnect command
You can use the disconnect command to disconnect your GitHub Enterprise account.
