When creating a new project on GitHub

Run npm install -g github-label-sync
Make sure you have a file labels.json at the root of your project. If you don't, help yourself here: https://github.com/springload/labels/blob/master/labels.json
Then make sure you run your terminal at the root of your project
Then run github-label-sync --access-token XXXXXXX springload/YOUR_PROJECT
You should get an output similar to this:
