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



NAME
       gt-issue-delete - Delete issues



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



DESCRIPTION
       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.


   ARGUMENTS
       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.
