PKGCTL-ISSUE-EDIT(1)

NAME
pkgctl-issue-edit - Edit and modify an issue

SYNOPSIS

pkgctl issue edit [OPTIONS] [IID]

DESCRIPTION

The pkgctl issue edit command is used to modify an existing issue in Arch Linux packaging projects. This command allows users to update the issue’s title, description, and various attributes, ensuring that the issue information remains accurate and up-to-date. It also provides a streamlined facility for bug wranglers to categorize and prioritize issues efficiently.

To edit an issue, users must specify the issue ID (IID). By default, the command operates within the current directory, but users can specify a different package base if needed.

The command allows for direct updates to the issue title and description. For more extensive changes, users can edit these details using a text editor. The command provides various options to set or update labels and attributes such as confidentiality, priority, resolution, scope, severity, and status. These options help maintain clear and organized issue management.

In case of a failed run, the command can automatically recover to ensure that the editing process is completed without losing any data.

This command is particularly useful for maintainers and contributors who need to update the details of an issue to reflect new information or changes in status. It ensures that all issue details are accurately maintained, facilitating efficient tracking and resolution.
