glab issue

Create, view, update, and manage GitLab issues.

Open-item selection

glab issue list defaults to open items. Omit the obsolete --opened flag; use --closed or --all for those scopes. This applies to the shared issue/incident list command, including its ls alias, and is separate from MR state selectors.

Template selection

For create --template, a bare name (with optional .md) resolves under the repository's .gitlab/issue_templates/ directory. An absolute path or a path containing a separator is read directly; relative paths use the current directory and ~/ is supported. Use ./template.md for a file in the current directory, rather than a bare template name. A missing template directory means no templates; other directory-listing failures are surfaced and should be repaired before retrying. Read and approve the file contents before posting them; --description-file remains mutually exclusive with --template.

Assignment, dates, and internal notes

issue list --assignee @none selects unassigned issues; --assignee @any selects assigned issues, while @me selects your issues. Date filters are --created-after, --created-before, --updated-after, and --updated-before, with RFC 3339 timestamps including the timezone. Group listing preserves --confidential and --iteration filters.
