Github CLI for getting changed file list is buggy #255
Description
TL;DR
Currently we are using github cli for getting the changed files list and it has a issue which throws 406 if changes are more than 20k lines but files are less.
could not find pull request diff: HTTP 406: Sorry, the diff exceeded the maximum number of lines (20000) (https://api.github.com/repos/org/repo/pulls/714)
PullRequest.diff too_large
The number of file changes in this PR is 150 only, should explore some other solution for getting file change list.

@vivekkairi As suggested by you, this is an issue from gh CLI.
Are you aware of any fallback option that can be relied on other than gh CLI? gh is official and takes care of the auth well. Any other approach would be hacky IMO.
