💅 glab-label-create — the glab manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so picture this: you're deep in the glab manual (yes, that glab, the GitLab CLI one, hi 👋) and you've found the page for glab-label-create. it's giving "tiny command, big slay". let's get into it ✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

glab-label-create — create a label in a project. that's it. that's the whole job. iconic behavior honestly 🏷️

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

glab label create [flags]

short, sweet, and absolutely ready to make a label for you 🫶

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe: you use the flags to set the label's name, color, description, and priority. that's the whole toolkit 🧰

⚠️ heads up bestie: the --name flag is required. no name, no label. periodt.

and if you don't bother specifying a color, --color defaults to #428BCA. cute of it, honestly 💙

by default the label gets created in the current repository — like, wherever you're standing. but if you want to target another project, just use --repo and point it somewhere else 🌈

---

💖 OPTIONS 💖

• -c, --color="#428BCA" — the color of the label. plain or HEX code, your call. default is literally #428BCA 🎨
• -d, --description="" — label description. defaults to empty, so spill the tea or don't 🍵
• -n, --name="" — the name of the label. defaults to empty in the flag, but remember: --name is required, so fill it in 💅
• -p, --priority=0 — label priority. defaults to 0 ⭐

---

👑 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 👑

these ones come from the parent command, so you get them for free, no cap:

• -h, --help[=false] — show help for this command. defaults to false 🙈
• -R, --repo="" — select another repository. you can use either OWNER/REPO or GROUP/NAMESPACE/REPO. the full URL or Git URL is also accepted. so many doors, all open 🚪✨

---

🌟 EXAMPLE 🌟

okay bestie, real-world demos, let's go:

# Create a label in the current repository
glab label create --name bug --color "#FF0000" --description "Something is broken"

# Create a label in another project
glab label create --name bug -R owner/repo

see? one for the home team, one for the neighbor's repo. both slay 💀🔥
