🌸 glab(1) — the label-delete era 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the glab manual — yes, the whole manual name is glab, and this lil' page is all about yeeting a label out of a project. it's giving "small command, big main character energy" ✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

glab-label-delete — Delete a label from a project.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

glab label delete  [flags]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So here's the vibe: you delete a label from a project by name. that's it, that's the whole thing 🦋

lowkey important though — the label gets removed from the project, but it is not removed from issues, merge requests, or epics that already use it. so like, those things keep their old label situation. no cap, read that again if you need to 👑

by default, the label is deleted from the current repository. wanna target a different project? that's what --repo is for, bestie 💅

🌈 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🌈

these ones come from the parent command — they're basically family, iykyk:

• -h, --help[=false] — shows help for this command. your lil' "wait what does this do again" button 🫶
• -R, --repo="" — picks another repository. you can use either OWNER/REPO or GROUP/NAMESPACE/REPO, and the full URL or Git URL is accepted too. so many options, all iconic ⭐

🔥 EXAMPLE 🔥

# Delete a label from the current repository
glab label delete bug

# Delete a label from another project
glab label delete bug -R owner/repo

literally just vibes and a label name 🍓

ngl bestie, remember the golden rule: the label leaves the project, but the issues, merge requests, and epics that already use it keep it. it's not a global purge, it's a glow-up for your label list 😭
