Unique PR labels

CI Check dist/ CodeQL Coverage

This action ensures that a pull request label is applied to only one pull request at a time. When you apply a unique label to a PR, this action will automatically remove it from any other PR currently labeled with it.

This can be helpful when using labels to trigger deployments or builds without having to manually unlabel previous PRs.

Setting up action

Create a .github/workflows/unique-labels.yml

on:
  pull_request:
    types: [opened, edited]

name: unique-pr-labels
jobs:
  label:
    permissions:
      contents: read
      pull-requests: write
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: stephdotnet/unique-labels@v1
        with:
          token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          labels: "["label-one", "label-two"]"
