Generated from bd help --doc count. Count issues matching the specified filters. By default, returns the total count of issues matching the filters. Use —by-* flags to group counts by different attributes. Examples: bd count # Count all issues bd count —status open # Count open issues bd count —by-status # Group count by status bd count —by-priority # Group count by priority bd count —by-type # Group count by issue type bd count —by-assignee # Group count by assignee bd count —by-label # Group count by label bd count —assignee alice —by-status # Count alice’s issues by status bd count —include-infra # Count issues + wisps tier (matches ‘bd list —include-infra —all’ cardinality)
