💖 glab(1) — glab-milestone-edit 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the glab(1) manual, specifically the glab-milestone-edit subsection. The manual name is literally glab, and this page is giving ✨ surgical-level edit energy ✨.

🌸 NAME 🌸

glab-milestone-edit — edit a milestone in a project or group. That's the mission, no cap 🫶.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

glab milestone edit  [flags]

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

So you wanna edit a milestone? Iconic. You identify it by its numeric ID, and you can do this in a project or a group.

The flags are your little toolkit: update the title, description, due date, start date, or state. Only the fields you specify are updated — it does not just go feral and rewrite everything else. Obsessed with the precision 💅.

By default, the milestone is edited in the current project. Wanna target a different project? Use --project. Wanna edit a group-level milestone? Use --group. And listen: --project and --group are mutually exclusive — pick one, bestie, not both 🙈.

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• --description="" — description of the milestone. Default is empty, so speak now or forever hold your peace 🎤.
• --due-date="" — due date for the milestone. Expected in ISO 8601 format (2025-04-15T08:00:00Z). Keep the format exactly, iykyk.
• --group="" — the ID or URL-encoded path of the group.
• --project="" — the ID or URL-encoded path of the project.
• --start-date="" — start date for the milestone. Expected in ISO 8601 format (2025-04-15T08:00:00Z).
• --state="" — state of the milestone. Can be 'activate' or 'close'. Those are the two, periodt.
• --title="" — title of the milestone.

🧚 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🧚

• -h, --help[=false] — show help for this command. Default is false, so it's not popping off unless you ask.
• -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 valid little formats, and all of them accepted, slay 🌈.
