How do I triage GitHub issues across multiple repositories?▼

Can I create and label GitHub issues from bug reports automatically?▼

Do I need the gh CLI installed to manage GitHub issues?▼

Linking GitHub issues to pull requests uses standard closing keywords within your workflow. This issue-to-PR linking mechanism ensures that merging associated pull requests automatically closes or reopens the corresponding tracked items.
