%I: issue number

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.

Open the new issue in a web browser.

-c, --copy

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

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