[ghostinhershell]

Hey folks, reporting in for our March API and Webhooks Community Check-In ✅

🧠​​ Pros in the Community

Big kudos to these superstar community contributors 👏

• We’ve got another self-serve win this time around. Shout out to @BruceMacD for figuring out why a SSH key added for a user could not access the organizations that the user belonged to.
• Got a couple of wins this week for @jge162 🏆
  • Big thanks for helping a community member figure out how to query the Github API using gh CLI for a PRs with specific keyword in title.
  • Here’s another Community thank you for teaching community members that the GitHub API does not provide the total lines of code (LOC) for a specific commit in a repository.

Remember to thank these and other community members that take the time to comment and help troubleshoot these problems. An acknowledgement of a job well done can have an incredible effect and make someone’s day. ☀️ We’re here to learn, discover and connect so try and mark a comment as an answer if suitable, give a thank you and select a reaction as a way to show your appreciation!

For community members who post questions, marking responses that solves your question as the answer goes a long way. When you mark a comment in the Discussion as an answer, GitHub will highlight the comment and replies to the comment to help other community members quickly find the answer as well.

You can learn more about marking a response as the answer to your Community post here.
