1. Make sure you have the GitHub CLI installed.
2. Install the gh extension from the repository with command: gh extension install thetechcollective/gh-cpissues

Usage

gh cpissues <git-repo> --label <label> [--verbose]

Replace '<git-repo>' with the target repository where you want to copy the issues and '<label>' with the label of the issues you want to copy.

[--verbose]: (Optional) Include this flag to get more detailed output about the operation. This can be helpful for debugging or understanding the process in more detail.

Options

• <git-repo>: The target repository in the format '<owner>/<repository>'.
• --label <label>: Specify the label of the issues to copy.
• --verbose': Include it in your command if you want more detailed output. Will keep the .tmp and .json file.

Example

gh cpissues thetechcollective/dx-intro --label template 

This command will copy all issues labeled "template" from the repository "thetechcollective/dx-intro" to the current repository.

Notes

• This script uses the GitHub CLI ('gh') to interact with GitHub repositories.
• Issues are copied with their title and body intact.
• If an issues with the same title already exists in the target repository, it wont be copied again.
