Documented steps

  1. Re-run everything: gh run rerun <run-id>; re-run only failed jobs (including their dependencies): gh run rerun <run-id> --failed
  2. Re-run one job (also runs its dependencies): gh run rerun --job <job-database-id>
  3. Find the job databaseId first: gh run view <run-id> --json jobs --jq '.jobs[] | {name, databaseId}'
  4. Get verbose logs on the retry: add -d/--debug to rerun with debug logging
  5. Download artifacts: gh run download <run-id> (all artifacts, one subdirectory per artifact), -n name (repeatable, matches any given name), -p 'glob*' for patterns, -D dir to choose destination (default '.')
  6. Docs: https://cli.github.com/manual/gh_run_rerun , https://cli.github.com/manual/gh_run_download (verified against gh 2.97.0, released 2026-07-31)
