Description
Problem: The CLI hardcodes "Good First Issue" as the search label, so users cant search for other helpful labels like "help wanted" or "first-timers-only".
Solution: Add a `--label` (or `-l`) flag that lets users specify a custom label name to search for. Default remains "Good First Issue" for backward compatibility.
Use case: Contributors looking for issues labeled "help wanted" or "good-first-issue" in other languages/localizations.
Example: `good-first-issue --label help-wanted` or `good-first-issue -l enhancement`
This is a small, well-scoped CLI enhancement with a clear user benefit.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start at the CLI entry point and find where the hard-coded "Good First Issue" label is used for searches. Add support for --label and -l while preserving that default, then verify the examples and existing behavior from the command line.
