Creates a review comment in the pull request diff. To add a regular comment to a pull request timeline, see "Create an issue comment." We recommend creating a review comment using line
, side
, and optionally start_line
and start_side
if your comment applies to more than one line in the pull request diff.
The position
parameter is deprecated. If you use position
, the line
, side
, start_line
, and start_side
parameters are not required.
Note: The position value equals the number of lines down from the first "@@" hunk header in the file you want to add a comment. The line just below the "@@" line is position 1, the next line is position 2, and so on. The position in the diff continues to increase through lines of whitespace and additional hunks until the beginning of a new file.
