Usage

Action is meant to be run as periodic job. This is needed to workaround issues regarding lack of write access when executed from fork which is a common problem when using https://github.com/actions/labeler.

          LABEL_MAPPINGS_FILE: .github/labeler.yml

By default action uses .github/labeler.yml located in repository from GITHUB_REPOSITORY as a source of pattern matchers. This file uses the same schema as in https://github.com/actions/labeler
