The command gh label list is used in the GitHub CLI to list all the labels in a repository.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • gh: Stands for GitHub CLI. It is a command-line tool that provides an interface to interact with GitHub repositories and perform various actions.

  • label: Specifies the command to work with GitHub labels.

  • list: This subcommand is used to fetch and display a list of labels in the current repository.

When you run gh label list, the CLI will make a request to the GitHub API to retrieve the labels associated with the repository you are currently in, and display them in the terminal. The labels are usually used to categorize or tag issues, pull requests, or other items in a repository to provide additional context or organization.
