# gt-issue-attachment-upload(1)

Attach a file

## NAME

gt-issue-attachment-upload - Attach a file

## SYNOPSIS

**gt issue attachment upload {\<number\> \| \<url\>} \<file\> \[flags\]**

## DESCRIPTION

Attach a file

### ARGUMENTS

```
An issue can be supplied as argument in any of the following formats:
- by number, e.g. "123" or "#123"
- by URL, e.g. "https://gitea.com/OWNER/REPO/issues/123"
- by repository and number, e.g. "OWNER/REPO#123"
Several issues must be in one repository. Next to "OWNER/REPO#123" or a URL, "124" means
OWNER/REPO#124, unless gt targets another repository otherwise, such as the clone's, --repo
or GITEA_CLI_REPO: then the command fails, and the number must be qualified.
```
