The label synchronisation utilises a CI pipeline (label_maker.yml) that runs every hour to look out for any new repositories and apply the labels.

1. Install go, if you don't have it installed. Click here for directions.
2. Clone the repo

$ GO111MODULE=off go get github.com/k8-proxy/github-labeller

3. Edit the file labels.json with the labels you want synchronised. eg

{
        "name": "QA Task",
        "description": "Quality Assurance needed",
        "color": "c2e0c6"
    },
    {
        "name": "merge conflict",
        "description": "Indicates a merge conflict.",
        "color": "fbca04"
    },

4. Implement the changes

$ GITHUB_TOKEN=mytoken github-labeller ORGANISATION

where "mytoken" is your personal github token, "ORGANISATION" is the organisation to which the repos belong.

1. You'll need Node.js 12+ installed to run GitHub Label Sync. You'll also need a GitHub access token ready so that the the tool will have access to your repositories.

$ npm install -g github-label-sync

2. Download labels.yml into the working directory

$ github-label-sync --access-token xxxxxx --labels labels.yml myname/myrepo

Note: Running this will delete all labels not in the yml file.
