## Issue commands
It is possible to create new issue, display issue details and search up to 5 issues.
## Deploy command
In order to deploy to an environment, GitLab will try to find a deployment
action in the pipeline.
If there is only one action for a given environment, it is going to be triggered.
If there is more than one action defined, GitLab will try to find an action
which name equals the environment name we want to deploy to.
Command will return an error when no matching action has been found.
