I'm trying to migrate about 4000 disqus comments to a giscus system, which is based on Github Discussions. I've used Maëlle Salmon's post at Goodbye, Disqus! Hello, Utterances! · Maëlle's R Blog to export my disqus comments and wrangled them into a tibble.

I have set up giscus on my github repo and tested that it is working ok.
Next I need to generate a github discussion post from each line of the tibble. It looks like that is possibly using gh::gh() with the github API, but I'm not sure how to do it. Anyone done something similar?
