GitHub Labels

Useful for synchronizing labels across GitHub repositories. See github-label-sync.

Pre Requisites

Install the following package with npm:

npm install --global github-label-sync

And have your GitHub token set in the environment variable GITHUB_TOKEN. The token must have the repo and public_repo scopes.

Usage

To apply the labels to all repos:

$ ./apply.sh

To apply the labels to one particular repo:

github-label-sync --access-token $GITHUB_TOKEN --allow-added-labels --labels ./labels.yml owner/repo

Running these scripts will NOT overwrite any existing labels in the repo.

If you want to overwrite the labels, and also delete the labels that are not listed in the YAML files, remove the --allow-added-labels flag.

github-label-sync --access-token $GITHUB_TOKEN --labels ./labels.yml owner/repo

Warning

The last command will delete any labels that are not listed in the YAML files. Use with caution.
