gitlink-label

CRITICAL: Read ../gitlink-shared/SKILL.md before starting. It covers authentication, permissions, global flags, and GitLink API behavior. CRITICAL: Confirm user intent before running write or destructive operations such as +create, +update, or +delete. CRITICAL: Use gitlink-cli for GitLink resources. Do not use GitHub-only tools such as gh.

Shortcuts

Shortcut Description Operation
label +list List issue labels Read
label +create Create an issue label Write
label +update Update a label, preserving unspecified fields Write
label +delete Delete an issue label Destructive

Examples

# List all labels
gitlink-cli label +list --owner Gitlink --repo forgeplus

# Filter labels by keyword, sorted by issue count
gitlink-cli label +list --owner Gitlink --repo forgeplus -k bug --sort-by issues_count --sort-direction desc

# Create a label (color defaults to #1E90FF when omitted)
gitlink-cli label +create --owner Gitlink --repo forgeplus -n bug -d "Something is broken" -c "#FF0000"

# Update only the color; name and description are preserved
gitlink-cli label +update --owner Gitlink --repo forgeplus -i 42 -c "#00FF00"

# Delete a label
gitlink-cli label +delete --owner Gitlink --repo forgeplus -i 42

Parameters

Command Key parameters
+list --keyword, --only-name, --sort-by (updated_on / created_on / issues_count), --sort-direction (asc / desc)
+create --name (required), --description, --color (hex, default #1E90FF)
+update --id (required) plus at least one of --name, --description, --color
+delete --id (required)

API Notes

  • Labels map to the GitLink "项目标记" / issue_tags API: /api/v1/{owner}/{repo}/issue_tags.
  • --color must be a hex value (#RGB or #RRGGBB); it is validated client-side before the API call.
  • +update first fetches the label's current values from the list endpoint and merges the requested changes, so fields you do not pass are preserved (the API requires name, description, and color together).
  • To attach a label to an issue, pass its id via the issue update API field issue_tag_ids (see gitlink-issue); use label +list --only-name true to resolve label ids quickly.

Typical workflow: bootstrap a triage taxonomy

# Create a consistent label set for issue triage
gitlink-cli label +create -n bug         -c "#D73A4A" -d "Confirmed defect"
gitlink-cli label +create -n enhancement -c "#A2EEEF" -d "Feature request"
gitlink-cli label +create -n question     -c "#D876E3" -d "Needs clarification"
gitlink-cli label +create -n security     -c "#B60205" -d "Security-sensitive"

# Verify the taxonomy
gitlink-cli label +list --only-name true --format json
