What fix-github-issue does

Pass an issue number to start. The command retrieves its details with gh issue view, searches the project for relevant files, and makes the required code changes. GitHub tasks use the GitHub CLI (gh).

It then writes and runs tests, checks linting and types, and prepares a descriptive commit message. You need an installed and configured gh to fetch the issue; without it, the command cannot retrieve the task details. Install it in Claude Code with npx claude-code-templates@latest --command git-workflow/fix-github-issue.
