%I: issue number

%i: issue number prefixed with "#"

%U: the URL of this issue

%S: state (i.e. "open", "closed")

%sC: set color to red or green, depending on issue state.

-m, --message MESSAGE

The text up to the first blank line in MESSAGE is treated as the issue title, and the rest is used as issue description in Markdown format.

When multiple --message are passed, their values are concatenated with a blank line in-between.

When neither --message nor --file were supplied to issue create, a text editor will open to author the title and description in.

-F, --file FILE

Read the issue title and description from FILE. Pass "-" to read from standard input instead. See --message for the formatting rules.

Open the issue title and description in a text editor before submitting. This can be used in combination with --message or --file.

Open the new issue in a web browser.

-c, --copy

Put the URL of the new issue to clipboard instead of printing it.

When opening an issue, add a comma-separated list of labels to this issue.

-d, --since DATE

Display only issues updated on or after DATE in ISO 8601 format.
