❓ What is auto-label-pulls?

Auto Label Pulls is a robust GitHub Action that can significantly streamline the process of labeling Pull Requests. Its branch-based mechanism offers the flexibility to cater to various project needs, making it an indispensable tool for any GitHub project maintainer.

Whether you have a small project or manage a large repository with tons of pull requests, auto-label-pulls can help you stay organized and save valuable time.

💡 Key Features

• Easy to Set Up: Getting started with auto-label-pulls is a breeze. All you need to do is include the action in your GitHub workflow file and configure the necessary parameters.

• Automatic Label Assignment: Labels are automatically assigned to new pull requests based on the target branch, removing the need for manual labelling.

• Customizable: You can configure which labels correspond to which branches, allowing you to use in a way that suits your project's needs.

🚀 Getting Started

Using auto-label-pulls is simple and straightforward:

• First, add the action to your GitHub workflow file (.github/workflows/main.yml).

name: Workflow Name

on:
  pull_request:
    types: [opened]

jobs:
  label:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Assign labels
        uses: shiftEscape/auto-label-pulls@v1.0.0
        with:
          token: "${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}"
          config-path: ".github/config/auto-label-pulls.json"

NOTE: Use this action only for pull_request event of type opened.

• Second, create a configuration file (.github/config/auto-label-pulls.json) for the mapping of labels to branches.

{
  "master": "🚀 Production Deployment",
  "develop": "🧪 SIT Deployment"
}

In the above example, when a Pull Request is made to master branch, "🚀 Production Deployment" label will be assigned to that PR and so on and so forth.
