Create a label in a project.

## Synopsis

Use the flags to set the label name, color, description, and priority.
The `--name` flag is required; `--color` defaults to
`#428BCA` if not specified.

By default, the label is created in the current repository. Use
`--repo` to target another project.

```plaintext
glab label create [flags]
```

## Aliases

```plaintext

```

## Examples

```console
# Create a label in the current repository
glab label create --name bug --color "#FF0000" --description "Something is broken"

# Create a label in another project
glab label create --name bug -R owner/repo

```

## Options

```plaintext
  -c, --color string         Color of the label, in plain or HEX code. (default "#428BCA")
  -d, --description string   Label description.
  -n, --name string          Name of the label.
  -p, --priority int         Label priority.
```

## Options inherited from parent commands
