Edit a milestone

## Synopsis

```text
Edit the title, description or due date of a milestone. Without flags on a terminal, a form
starts from the current values.
```

```
gt milestone edit <milestone> [flags]
```

## Examples

```
$ gt milestone edit v1.0 --title v1.0.0 --deadline 2027-01-31
$ gt milestone edit v1.0 --deadline=
$ gt milestone edit 3 --editor
```

## Options

```
      --by-name                 Match a numeric argument as a milestone title rather than an ID
      --deadline date           Due date: YYYY-MM-DD, RFC3339 or Unix timestamp; only the date counts, as the end of that day in UTC; empty clears it
  -d, --description string      Milestone description
  -F, --description-file file   Read the description from file, or - for stdin
  -e, --editor                  Write the description in the configured editor
  -h, --help                    help for edit
