-d, --description="" Label description.

-l, --label-id=0 The label ID we are updating.

-n, --new-name="" The new name of the label.

-p, --priority=0 Label priority.

-h, --help[=false] Show help for this command.

-R, --repo="" Select another repository. You can use either OWNER/REPO or GROUP/NAMESPACE/REPO. The full URL or Git URL is also accepted.
