github-label-maker

Python module and script to manage GitHub labels the saner way:

• create or edit sane labels using labels definitions in JSON files
• dump your existing precious labels into JSON file

Requirements

• PyGithub 1.56

Installation

pip install gh-label-maker

Usage

Output of python github-label-maker.py -h should be self-explanatory.

If it is not, there are three modes of operation:

• add or update labels from files with labels definitions
  • from single file --make-labels-from=/my/scheme/default.json
  • from multiple files --make-labels-from=/my/scheme
• dump all labels using --dump-labels-to=/my/labels.json

github-label-maker's Issues

pip package

My pain is to use i need keep the source code and know the path to it.
currently i do somthing like:

python3 path/to/github_label_maker  ...

Would be nice if this project was packaged.
So it can be installed with pip.
and then used like this:

github_label_maker ...

Does not work for a private repo

steps to reproduce

gh_label_maker -o a-owner -r a-private-repo -d dump.json
