bircni 55c3a392a1 feat: generate the gt command reference from gitea/cli
update_cli_docs.sh runs gt's own generator and lays the pages out for the
site: one directory per command group, front matter, titles, sidebar
order, fenced help text and rewritten links. --released succeeds while no
series is documented. A weekly workflow proposes updates like the runner's.

gt label create

Create a label

Synopsis

Create a label. Without --color, the label gets a random color. A label with the same
name, ignoring case, is refused unless --force updates it. Without a name on a terminal,
prompts ask for the name, color and description.
gt label create <name> [flags]

Examples

$ gt label create bug --color d73a4a --description "Something is broken"
$ gt label create "priority/high" --exclusive
# Update the label if it exists
$ gt label create bug -c ee0701 --force

Options

      --archived             Archive the label so that it cannot be applied anymore
  -c, --color digits         Color as six hexadecimal digits, such as d73a4a
  -d, --description string   Description of the label
      --exclusive            Allow only one label of its scope, such as priority/high, per issue
  -f, --force                Update the label if one with the same name exists
  -h, --help                 help for create
