# Label Delete
## As a
developer cleaning up a repository's label set
## I want
to delete a label by name
## Acceptance criteria
1. Running `gor label delete bug` deletes the label named `bug`
2. A confirmation prompt is shown before deletion (bypassed with `--yes`)
3. `--repo` / `-R` flag specifies the repository explicitly
4. `--hostname` flag targets a specific host
5. A success message is printed on success
6. If the label does not exist, a clear error is shown and the command exits non-zero
## Out of scope
- Bulk label deletion
- Restoring a deleted label
