gh-label: Delete a label for the repository in the current directory, prompting for confirmation.
$ gh label delete ${name}
try on your machine

The command gh label delete ${name} is used to delete a label in GitHub. Here's an explanation of the different parts of the command:

  • gh: It is a command-line interface tool called "GitHub CLI" that provides an easy way to work with GitHub repositories from the command line.
  • label: It is a subcommand of gh used to interact with labels within a GitHub repository.
  • delete: It is a subcommand of gh label used to delete labels. This subcommand is followed by the name of the label you want to delete.
  • ${name}: This is a placeholder indicating that you need to replace ${name} with the actual name of the label you want to delete. The $ symbol usually denotes the usage of variables or placeholders in command-line syntax.

For example, if you have a label named "bug" that you want to delete, you would replace ${name} with bug, and the command will be gh label delete bug. This will delete the label named "bug" from the GitHub repository you're currently working with.
