GH-RUN-VIEW(1) GitHub CLI manual GH-RUN-VIEW(1)

# [NAME](#NAME)

gh-run-view - View a summary of a workflow run

# [SYNOPSIS](#SYNOPSIS)

**gh run view \[<run-id>] \[flags]**

# [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION)

View a summary of a workflow run.

Due to platform limitations, **gh** may not always be able to associate jobs with their corresponding logs when using the primary method of fetching logs in zip format.

In such cases, **gh** will attempt to fetch logs for each job individually via the API. This fallback is slower and more resource-intensive. If more than 25 job logs are missing, the operation will fail with an error.

Additionally, due to similar platform constraints, some log lines may not be associated with a specific step within a job. In these cases, the step name will appear as **UNKNOWN STEP** in the log output.
