       gcli issues — Manage issues in various git forges

SYNOPSIS

       gcli [-n n] [-a] [-s] [-A author] [-L label] [-M milestone] [-o owner -r repo] [search-query]
       gcli -i issue [-o owner -r repo] actions...
       gcli create [-o owner -r repo] [-y]

DESCRIPTION

       Use  gcli to search, list, create, edit or delete issues in repositories in various git(1) forges such as
       GitHub, GitLab and Gitea.  Without  any  action  specified,  gcli  will  list  issues  in  the  given  or
       autodetected repository.

OPTIONS

       -s, --sorted
               Reverse the output such that most recent items appear at the bottom.

       -o, --owner owner
               List  issues  in  the  repository of the given owner. This option can only be used in combination
               with -r.

       -r, --repo repo
               List issues in the given repository. This option can only be used in combination with -o.

       -a      List issues disregarding their state. This will list closed issues as well.  Cannot  be  combined
               with actions. This does not affect the -n option.

       -A, --author user
               Only list issues authored by the given user.

       -L, --label label
               Filter issues by the given label. This option may only be specfied once.

       -M, --milestone milestone
               Filter issues by the given milestone. This option may only be specfied once.

       -n, --count n
               Fetch  at  least n issues. Setting n to -1 will fetch all issues. Default: 30. Note that on large
               repositories fetching all issues can take a considerable amount of time and may  result  in  rate
               limiting by the respective API. See “CAVEATS”.

       -i, --id issue
               execute the given actions for the specified issue.

CAVEATS

       GitHub  and  Gitea  treat  Pull  Requests  as  Issues. Due to the semantics of gcli those issues that are
       actually PRs are dropped from the output. In this case a note will be printed indicating how many  issues
       were dropped. You can suppress this warning using the -q program option.

BUGS

       GitHub  only supports removing labels from issues one by one. If you still want to remove multiple issues
       with a single gcli call, you may do something like:

             $ gcli issues -i42 \
                     labels remove bug \
                     labels remove foo

       Please report bugs via E-Mail to ~herrhotzenplotz/gcli-discuss@lists.sr.ht.

       Alternatively you can report them  on  any  of  the  forges  linked  at  https://herrhotzenplotz.de/gcli.
       However, the preferred and quickest method is to use the mailing list.
