A set of bash scripts for deleting / creating labels within Github
If you're like me, you create a bunch of Github repos all of the time. And if you're also like me, you work on a team of talented developers who expect a standard set of labels to be present with they're opening PRs. Up until now, I've been creating these manually. I finally decided to be lazy and automate it, thus github-label-maker was born.
To use this repository, clone it down locally, set up your shell environment, and run the scripts.
These scripts expect you to have a Github personal access token exported in your shell, under the name GITHUBTOKEN. That token should have repo access. For more information about creating a Github token, check out their docs.
Once the token is exported, you can run the scripts. There are two of them: delete-labels and create-labels. Their purposes are pretty self-explanatory, but it's important to note that you should run the delete-labels script before the create-labels one.
The create-labels script will take the contents of the labels.json file and create labels with those names and colors. If you need to change the labels you want to create, edit that file (or submit a PR to this repo that makes that configurable :)
