GT-ISSUE-DELETE(1) gitea-cli Manual GT-ISSUE-DELETE(1)

gt-issue-delete - Delete issues

gt issue delete {<number> | <url>}... [flags]

Delete issues for good, with their comments, attachments and time tracking. This cannot be undone and needs the permission to delete issues, which Gitea gives repository owners and administrators. To only stop work on one, use gt issue close. To delete a pull request, use gt pr delete.

An issue can be supplied as argument in any of the following formats:
- by number, e.g. "123" or "#123"
- by URL, e.g. "https://gitea.com/OWNER/REPO/issues/123"
- by repository and number, e.g. "OWNER/REPO#123"
Several issues must be in one repository. Next to "OWNER/REPO#123" or a URL, "124" means
OWNER/REPO#124, unless gt targets another repository otherwise, such as the clone's, --repo
or GITEA_CLI_REPO: then the command fails, and the number must be qualified.
