BUGS

The delete subcommand should ask for confirmation and have a flag to override this behaviour.

Please report bugs via E-Mail to ~herrhotzenplotz/gcli-discuss@lists.sr.ht.

Alternatively you can report them on any of the forges linked at https://herrhotzenplotz.de/gcli. However, the preferred and quickest method is to use the mailing list.
