Creating Issues

To create issues, run the following command:

    "labels": ["enhancement"]
  }
]

Managing Dependencies

You can also manage dependencies between issues by specifying them in the JSON file. For example:

[
  {
    "title": "Issue Title 1",
    "body": "Description for issue 1",
    "dependsOn": ["Issue Title 2"]
  },
  {
    "title": "Issue Title 2",
