💅 glab(1) — the milestone glow-up edition

okay bestie, so this is a page from the glab manual (that's the glab(1) bit up top, iykyk) — and we're zooming in on one specific little command: glab-milestone-get. it's giving "small but mighty." let's get into it 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

glab-milestone-get — grab a milestone by its ID, in a project or a group. that's the whole job. slay. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

glab milestone get [] [flags]

yes, the [] is literally empty like that in the original — no cap, we're not touching it. what you do pass is the numeric ID, and then whatever flags your heart desires. 🦋

---

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

So the vibe is: you want the deets on one single milestone — in a project or a group — and you find it by its numeric ID. that's it, that's the whole thing.

Pro tip from the source: use --output json if you want the result formatted as JSON so you can pipe it into other tools. it's giving "main character who plays well with others." 🔥

By default the milestone gets looked up in the current project — like, your home turf. but you've got options:

• want a different project? that's what --project is for.
• want a group-level milestone? hiiiii --group.

⚠️ heads up bestie: --project and --group are mutually exclusive. pick one. you cannot have both, that's not the vibe check you want to fail. 💀

---

⭐ OPTIONS ⭐

• --group="" — the ID or URL-encoded path of the group. 🫶
• --jq="" — filter that JSON output with a jq expression. chef's kiss for chaining stuff together. ✨
• -F, --output="text" — format the output as: text, json. default is text, obvi.
• --project="" — the ID or URL-encoded path of the project.

---

🎀 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🎀

these come from the parent command, so they're kinda like hand-me-downs but make it iconic:

• -h, --help[=false] — show help for this command. the classic. 💖
• -R, --repo="" — select another repository. you can use either OWNER/REPO or GROUP/NAMESPACE/REPO, and the full URL or Git URL is also accepted. flexible queen 🌈

---

🦋 EXAMPLE 🦋

here's the receipts, all four of them, exactly as written:

# Get a milestone from the current project
glab milestone get 123

# Get a milestone from a different project
glab milestone get 123 --project owner/project

# Get a group milestone
glab milestone get 123 --group example-group

# Get a milestone as JSON
glab milestone get 123 --output json

like?? look at that. 123 in every single one. consistency icon. 👑
