Create a milestone

## Synopsis

```text
Create a milestone. Without flags on a terminal, a form asks for the title, description
and due date. A milestone with the same title, ignoring case, is refused unless --force updates
it, since titles address milestones.
```

```
gt milestone create [<title>] [flags]
```

## Examples

```
$ gt milestone create v1.0 --deadline 2026-12-31 --description "First release"
$ gt milestone create --title v2.0 --editor
# Update the milestone if it exists
$ gt milestone create v1.0 --deadline 2027-01-31 --force
```

## Options

```
      --deadline date           Due date: YYYY-MM-DD, RFC3339 or Unix timestamp; only the date counts, as the end of that day in UTC; with --force, empty clears the deadline of an existing milestone
  -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
  -f, --force                   Update the milestone if one with the same title exists
  -h, --help                    help for create
      --state string            State of the new milestone {open|closed} (default "open")
  -t, --title string            Milestone title
```
