🧩 Awesome features

This document discusses the development of a Go language actions that synchronizes labels on GitHub repositories. This actions is not limited to synchronizing labels on your own repository, but can also retrieve all of the API objects of a target repository, which can then be saved to a YAML file or synchronized to your own GitHub project.

Labels are an important way of organizing and categorizing issues and pull requests on GitHub. They allow you to quickly and easily identify the status, priority, and type of each issue or pull request.

To retrieve the API objects of a GitHub project's labels, you can use the following URLs:

• To retrieve the first page of objects: https://api.github.com/repos/<owner>/<repo>/labels?page=1&sort=name-asc
• To retrieve all objects: https://api.github.com/repos/<owner>/<repo>/labels?per_page=100&page=1&sort=name-asc

Simply replace <owner> and <repo> with the owner and repository name, respectively. These URLs can be used to retrieve all of the labels associated with a project, which can then be synchronized or saved as needed.

github-label-syncer is a tool to sync labels between repos and org. The main features are:

• Feel free to pick a remote repository and fetch all its labels to a local yaml, table AND json
• Feel free to pick a remote repository and sync all of its labels to your desired project repository
• Sync labels across repositories according to configuration
• Create, update and delete labels
• Dry run to preview which labels would be created, updated or deleted
• Handle label collisions by renaming or skipping existing labels
• Support labeling pull requests and issues

Labels denger: The labels are designed semantic and standard. We provide labels for priority, type, status etc. You can refer to the label doc to get more info.

**github actions

🛫 Quick start

Note: You can get started quickly with github-label-syncer.

Work with Makefile

❯ make help    # show help
❯ make build   # build binary exporter and syncer
❯ echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/_output/platforms/linux/amd64/' | tee -a ~/.zshrc;source ~/.zshrc

Work with actions

Actions provide handling of PR and issue. We used the bot 🚀@kubbot, It can detect issues in Chinese and translate them to English, and you can interact with it using the command /comment.

Comment in an issue:
