The `glab issue` command provides a command-line interface to interact with GitLab issues. It allows users to create new issues, list existing issues (potentially filtered), view specific issue details, close/reopen issues, assign issues to users, add comments, and perform other common issue management tasks directly from the terminal.
This is especially helpful for developers who want to quickly manage issues without switching context to a web browser. The command utilizes the GitLab API, so it requires proper authentication with a GitLab instance. `glab issue` enhances developer productivity by streamlining the issue management workflow within the command line environment. Features like issue search using filters are efficient for tracking. In larger project the issue can be easily searched through filters. The command also integrate with Gitlab CI and other devops tools.

Requires `glab` to be properly configured with a GitLab instance and authenticated user. Some features may depend on the GitLab version and permissions.

Before using `glab issue`, ensure that you have authenticated with your GitLab instance using `glab auth login`.

Utilize the various flags available with `glab issue list` to effectively filter and search for issues based on criteria such as state, assignee, milestone, and labels.

When creating an issue without providing `--title` or `--description` arguments, `glab issue create` may prompt you for the information interactively.

The `glab` CLI tool has evolved to provide enhanced GitLab integration within the command line. The `issue` subcommand was added to streamline issue management directly from the terminal, improving developer workflows.
