GitHub Labels

An Ansible-based solution for syncing GitHub Issue Labels between GitHub Repositories.

This solution leverages the "github-label-sync" npm packaged tool.

Dependencies

• ansible is used to
• npm must be available

Example

Run with the --check flag to see the Dry Run output, like the following:

$ ansible-playbook sync-labels.yml  --check
GitHub Access Token: 
GitHub Organization or User [routeviews]: 
Which repository would you like to update? [infra]: frr
Which repository would you like to retrieve labels from? [labels]: 

... omitted for brevity...

TASK [Dry Run Output] *********************************************************************************************************************
ok: [localhost] => {
    "dryrun_output.stdout_lines": [
        "Syncing labels for \"routeviews/frr\"",
        "Validating provided labels",
        "Fetching labels from GitHub",
        " > Missing: the \"DNS\" label is missing from the repo. It will be created.",
        " > Missing: the \"email\" label is missing from the repo. It will be created.",
        " > Missing: the \"invalid\" label is missing from the repo. It will be created.",
        " > Missing: the \"security\" label is missing from the repo. It will be created.",
        " > Missing: the \"update dependencies\" label is missing from the repo. It will be created."
    ]
}

... trimmed for brevity...

Run without the --check argument to sync the GitHub Issue Labels:

$ ansible-playbook sync-labels.yml
GitHub Access Token: 
GitHub Organization or User [routeviews]: 
Which repository would you like to update? [infra]: frr
Which repository would you like to retrieve labels from? [labels]: 

... omitted for brevity...

TASK [Sync output] ************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [localhost] => {
    "sync_output.stdout_lines": [
        "Syncing labels for \"routeviews/frr\"",
        "Validating provided labels",
        "Fetching labels from GitHub",
        " > Missing: the \"DNS\" label is missing from the repo. It will be created.",
        " > Missing: the \"email\" label is missing from the repo. It will be created.",
        " > Missing: the \"invalid\" label is missing from the repo. It will be created.",
        " > Missing: the \"security\" label is missing from the repo. It will be created.",
        " > Missing: the \"update dependencies\" label is missing from the repo. It will be created."
    ]
}

TODO

• Enable syncing all repositories within an organization/user.
• Consider removing vars_prompt to enable simply running this in GitHub Action workflow.
• Consider converting the playbook itself into a GitHub Action.
