Ignore labels

[alexec]

I want auto to ignore labels completely and always release a minor version.

Why? Engineers make too many mistakes with labels. The automation tooling tries to apply labels, but gets it wrong.

Fixing this problem results in around 2h lost engineering time per incident. Happen to my team about twice a week. Multiply by engineering teams and projects O(n^3) engineering cost? This could create a $3m annual cost?

I work at Intuit.

Hey Alex, just override the labels in your autorc to meet your needs: https://intuit.github.io/auto/docs/configuration/autorc#overriding-default-labels If you only ever want to release minors, only specify a minor label and mark it as default.

Like this?

{
  "labels": [
    { "releaseType": "minor", "name": "Version: Minor", "default": true }
  ]
}

You'll need the noDefaultLabels option too:

{
  "noDefaultLabels": true,
  "labels": [
    { "releaseType": "minor", "name": "Version: Minor", "default": true }
  ]
}
