Config and scripts to synchronise the labels used across our repositories.

Design System Team Labels

We use this repo to synchronise the labels we use across our repositories.

It uses github-label-sync.

Updating labels

Labels are configured in config.js.

The groups are only used for organisation, and to avoid having to declare the same colour multiple times.

You can preview the labels by running:

npm run preview

When a pull request is created, you will be able to see a preview of the changes that will be made to each repository as a comment on the PR, or in the GitHub Actions log.

Once the pull request has been merged to main, those changes will be applied.

Labels that are not included in this config will not be affected. This also means that removing a label from the config will not remove it from any repositories.

Updating repos

The list of repositories to update is configured in apply.sh.

Further detail

It'd also be useful if we could post the output from apply.sh which shows what changes will be made as a comment on the PR.

Done when

• Changes to labels on repos can be previewed when opening a PR to update the label config (ideally as a comment on the PR)
• Changes to labels are automatically applied to repos when the change is merged to main
