HOW TO USE IT

When updating an issue’s time tracking, use `glab issue update` with the estimate or time-spent flags; durations use GitLab time-tracking format. Use the removal flags to reset either value.

glab issue update <issue-id> --estimate 2d --spend 1h30m
glab issue update <issue-id> --remove-estimate --remove-time-spent
