# gt-issue-timeline(1)

Show the activity on an issue

## NAME

gt-issue-timeline - Show the activity on an issue

## SYNOPSIS

**gt issue timeline {\<number\> \| \<url\>} \[flags\]**

## DESCRIPTION

Show what happened on an issue, oldest first: comments, and changes such as labels, milestones, titles, assignees, references, logged time and state changes.

### 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.
```

assignee, assignee_team, author, body, created_at, deadline, dependent_issue,
duration, id, label, label_added, milestone, new_title, old_deadline,
