NAME

       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] [issue-title]

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 specified once.

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

SUBCOMMANDS

               to enter an issue message.

               When the issue title is omitted gcli will interactively prompt you for all the details to  create
               an issue.

               -i, --in owner/repo

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.
