Every project in your organization usually has a common set of labels specific to the organization. Setting up new projects and making sure they have the same set of labels is annoying and error-prone. Therefore this tool lets you define these labels in a YAML file and automatically imports them to a new project.
- Define the labels for your repository in
default_labels.yml. - Run
./label_import.rband provide username, password, organization and repository using the interactive shell.
