The glab issue command is part of the official glab GitLab CLI tool, a user-friendly command-line interface for interacting with GitLab repositories. It enables developers to create, list, view, update, close, and manage issues directly from the terminal without needing a web browser.

Key features include searching issues by labels, milestones, or assignees; adding comments (notes); moving issues between projects; and exporting issue data. It supports pagination for large lists, custom output formats like JSON or YAML, and integrates seamlessly with Git workflows. Authentication is handled via personal access tokens or SSH keys, stored securely.

Ideal for CI/CD pipelines, scripts, and power users, glab issue mirrors GitHub's gh CLI functionality, promoting efficiency in issue triage and collaboration. Usage requires prior glab installation via package managers like Homebrew, APT, or direct binary download.

Requires glab authentication via glab auth login; not installed by default on Linux distros; subcommands may require project permissions.
