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



NAME
       gt-issue-lock - Lock the conversation of issues



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



DESCRIPTION
       Lock the conversation of issues or pull requests, so that only people
       with write access can comment on them. One that is locked already is
       reported and keeps its reason.


       Gitea does not check the reason: it offers Too heated, Off-topic,
       Resolved and Spam by default, and administrators can change that.


   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.

       milestone, number, ref, state, title, updated_at, url
