NAME
       gt-label-edit - Edit a label



SYNOPSIS
       gt label edit <label> [flags]



DESCRIPTION
       Edit the name, color or description of a label, or whether it is
       exclusive or archived.  Without flags on a terminal, a form edits the
       name, color and description, starting from their current values.


   ARGUMENTS
       A label can be supplied by its name, such as "bug" or "kind/feature", or by its ID. A
       number is an ID first, then a name.

       anymore

       --dry-run[=false]   Show the write requests gt would send, without
       sending them


       --exclusive[=false]      Allow only one label of its scope, such as
       priority/high, per issue
