GitHub CLI now exposes issue types, parent and sub-issue relationships, and issue dependencies directly from the terminal. This means you can structure and track work without dropping into the browser or writing raw gh api scripts. These are exactly the workflows that both developers, and the coding agents that increasingly rely on gh as their interface to GitHub, run every day.
Advanced issue features in gh issue
As of v2.94.0, you can now work with issue hierarchy, types, and dependencies directly from gh:
Issue types: Set a type on create or edit, and filter by type in gh issue list.
Sub-issues: Link, change, or remove a parent with --parent, --set-parent, and --remove-parent.
