GH-PROJECT-COPY(1)

💖 GH-PROJECT-COPY(1) — the GitHub CLI manual, but make it a group chat 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to gh-project-copy, straight out of the GitHub CLI manual. this is the one where you take a whole project and just… copy it. yeah. that's the vibe. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

gh-project-copy — Copy a project 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

gh project copy [<number>] [flags]

literally that's it. a number (optional, she's flexible) and your flags. slay.

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

okay here's the menu, no cap, every single one:

• --drafts — Include draft issues when copying 🍓 like yes, bring the drafts too, they deserve to come along.
• --format <string> — Output format: {json} — that's the only one listed, so that's what you get.
• -q, --jq <expression> — Filter JSON output using a jq expression 🔥 you know her, you love her.

• --target-owner <string> — Login of the target owner. Use "@me" for the current user. 🎀 same deal, different side of the copy.
• -t, --template <string> — Format JSON output using a Go template; see "gh help formatting" 🧚 templates, for when you want it to look cute AND structured.
• --title <string> — Title for the new project ✨ give your copy a name, she deserves one.
