gt-pr-lock - Lock the conversation of a pull request

gt pr lock [<number> | <url> | <branch>] [flags]

Lock the conversation of a pull request, so that only people with write access can comment on it. 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.

A pull request can be supplied as argument in any of the following formats:
- by number, such as "13" or "#13"
- by URL, such as "https://gitea.com/OWNER/REPO/pulls/13"
- by the name of its head branch, such as "feature/login" or "bob:feature/login"; a branch that
  reads as OWNER/REPO#N, such as "fix/login#2", needs the OWNER:BRANCH form
Without an argument, the pull request of the current branch is selected.
