💅 glab(1) — the glab manual, but make it make sense 🎀

okay bestie, welcome to the glab man page, specifically the glab-issue-delete corner of the group chat. this is where issues go to ✨leave the chat✨. no cap, we're getting into it. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

glab-issue-delete — literally deletes an issue. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 💀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

glab issue delete  [flags]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the tea: this command permanently deletes the issue. like, gone-gone. not "archived", not "closed", not "moved to drafts" — permanently. 🙈

and the way that you can just hand it either an issue ID or a full issue URL? iconic. it takes both, no questions asked. 🫶

bestie please double-check which issue you're pointing at before you hit enter, because "permanently" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence 😭

✨ OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS ✨

these aren't even this command's own flags, they're inherited from the parent commands — family heirlooms, if you will 👑

  • -h, --help[=false] — shows help for this command. yes she's got a default value of false, she's lowkey humble like that.
  • -R, --repo="" — picks a different repository. you can hand it either OWNER/REPO or GROUP/NAMESPACE/REPO. and if you're feeling extra, a full URL or a Git URL is also accepted. it's giving versatile. 🌈

✨ EXAMPLE ✨

here's exactly how it looks in the wild, copy-paste energy only, no improvising:

glab issue delete 123
glab issue del 123
glab issue delete https://gitlab.com/profclems/glab/-/issues/123

yep, del works as a little shortcut too — the command said "nicknames are valid" and honestly? slay. 🔥
