# Reported issues for GitHub

Pod holds 7 of 7 problems reported by people outside the maintainer team. Issues filed by the project's own owners, members and collaborators are excluded entirely — a maintainer's release checklist is not a warning to a prospective user.

## Most discussed

### get_review_comments overflows on GitHub review comment IDs above int32

## Summary

`pull_request_read(method: "get_review_comments")` fails for current GitHub review-comment database IDs that exceed signed 32-bit range.

## Reproduction

Repository: `stokaro/ptah`.

Calls such as:

```json
{"owner":"stokaro","repo":"ptah","pullNumber":1405,"method":"get_review_comments","perPage":100}
```

fail with:

```text
failed to get pull request review threads: json: cannot unmarshal number 3757339736 into Go value of type githubv4.Int
```

The same failure occurs for other

### Missing rebase-state recovery tools: git rebase --abort / --continue / --skip

## What is missing

There is no tool to manage an in-progress rebase. Notably, `git_pull` performs an **automatic rebase** — so the server itself can put a repository into a conflicted `rebase in progress` state that none of its own tools can then exit.

## How it happened (real session)

1. A feature branch had been squash-merged into `master` on GitHub.
2. While still on the local feature branch, `git_pull` (branch: `master`) fetched and started rebasing the branch onto the new master.
3. The

### Proposal: ship a Claude Code skill ("omnigit-mcp-only") to enforce MCP-first usage

## Scenario

Claude Code agents working in repos with `omnigit-mcp` configured tend to drift back to `Bash: git ...` / `Bash: gh ...` for "small" operations even when MCP equivalents exist. Each time this happens you lose the structural advantages of the MCP (typed I/O, no shell-quoting bugs in commit messages, no PATH or alias surprises) and you mix two different audit/auth surfaces.

A Claude Code **skill** is the right shape to fix this — once installed, the skill auto-loads whenever the user

### Missing: force-push, commit --amend, and reset --hard (gated as opt-in)

## Problem

Several common git operations have no MCP wrapper today, forcing AI agents to fall back to `Bash: git ...` despite a strict "MCP only" policy. Specifically:

### 1. `git push --force` / `git push --force-with-lease`

**CLI used:**
```
git push --force-with-lease origin <branch>
```

**What I needed:** Overwrite a remote branch after amending or rewriting history locally. Standard part of an iterative PR workflow (fix typo → amend → force-push), and force-with-lease is the safe varian

### Missing: path filtering in git_log, git_show --stat, and cross-branch log (--all)

## Problem

When investigating schema drift in a repository, I needed several git operations that the current MCP tools don't support, which forced me to fall back to CLI commands. Specifically:

### 1. `git log` with path filter (`-- <path>`)

**CLI used:**
```
git log --oneline -20 -- go/models/
git log --oneline -20 -- go/schema/migrations/_sqldata/
```

**What I needed:** See which commits touched a specific file or directory. This is essential for tracing when a file was last modified.

**C

### git_worktree_add reports success but working directory is empty (files not checked out)

## Problem

`git_worktree_add` returns a success message and the worktree appears correctly in `git_worktree_list`, but the worktree directory is completely empty — no files are checked out.

**Reproduction steps:**

1. Call `git_worktree_add` with `repo_path`, `worktree_path`, `new_branch`, and `commitish`:
   ```json
   {
     "repo_path": "/path/to/repo",
     "worktree_path": "/path/to/repo/.claude/worktrees/my-feature",
     "new_branch": "my-feature-branch",
     "commitish": "master"
   }

### git_worktree_add fails with "invalid reference" for freshly-created remote branches

## Problem

`git_worktree_add` fails with `fatal: invalid reference` when the target branch was just created on the remote (e.g. via `create_branch_github_git_mcp`) but has not yet been fetched into the local repo.

**Reproduction steps:**

1. Create a branch on GitHub using `create_branch_github_git_mcp` (or any remote operation).
2. Immediately call `git_worktree_add` with `commitish` set to that branch name.
3. The tool fails:
   ```
   Failed to add worktree: failed to add worktree: git comm
