Labels

gitcode label list -R owner/repo
gitcode label list -R owner/repo --json

# Destructive command: preview first
gitcode label delete bug -R owner/repo --dry-run
gitcode label delete bug -R owner/repo --yes

Apply labels to issues:

gitcode issue label 123 -R owner/repo --list
gitcode issue label 123 -R owner/repo --add bug,priority-high
gitcode issue label 123 -R owner/repo --remove stale

Apply labels to PRs:

gitcode pr edit 123 -R owner/repo --labels bug,priority-high --json

Milestones

gitcode milestone list -R owner/repo --json
gitcode milestone create "v1.0" -R owner/repo --description "First release"
gitcode milestone view 1 -R owner/repo --json

# Destructive command: preview first
gitcode milestone delete 1 -R owner/repo --dry-run
gitcode milestone delete 1 -R owner/repo --yes

Attach milestones:

gitcode issue edit 123 -R owner/repo --milestone 1 --json

Rules

• List existing labels before creating new ones to avoid duplicates.
• Use repository naming conventions for type, priority, scope, and status labels.
• Use --dry-run before deleting labels or milestones.
• Avoid changing milestones for active work without checking open issues and PRs.
