Automatically label new pull requests based on the paths of files being changed or the branch name.
## Usage
### Create `.github/labeler.yml`
Create a `.github/labeler.yml` file with a list of labels and [minimatch](https://github.com/isaacs/minimatch) globs to match to apply the label.
The key is the name of the label in your repository that you want to add (eg: "merge conflict", "needs-updating") and the value is the path (glob) of the changed files (eg: `src/**/*`, `tests/*.spec.js`) or a match object.
#### Match Object
For more control over matching, you can provide a match object instead of a simple path glob. The match object is defined as:
```yml
- any: ['list', 'of', 'globs']
all: ['list', 'of', 'globs']
branch: ['list', 'of, 'globs']
```
One or all fields can be provided for fine-grained matching. Unlike the top-level list, the list of path globs provided to `any` and `all` must ALL match against a path for the label to be applied.
The fields are defined as follows:
* `any`: match ALL globs against ANY changed path
* `all`: match ALL globs against ALL changed paths
* `branch`: match ANY glob against the branch name
A simple path glob is the equivalent to `any: ['glob']`. More specifically, the following two configurations are equivalent:
```yml
label1:
- example1/*
```
and
```yml
label1:
- any: ['example1/*']
```
From a boolean logic perspective, top-level match objects are `OR`-ed together and individual match rules within an object are `AND`-ed. Combined with `!` negation, you can write complex matching rules.
#### Basic Examples
```yml
# Add 'label1' to any changes within 'example' folder or any subfolders
label1:
- example/**/*
# Add 'label2' to any file changes within 'example2' folder
label2: example2/*
# Add label3 to any change to .txt files within the entire repository. Quotation marks are required for the leading asterisk
label3:
- '**/*.txt'
# Add 'label4' to any PR where the branch name starts with 'example4'
label4:
- branch: 'example4/**'
```
#### Common Examples
```yml
# Add 'repo' label to any root file changes
repo:
- '*'
# Add '@domain/core' label to any change within the 'core' package
'@domain/core':
- package/core/*
- package/core/**/*
# Add 'test' label to any change to *.spec.js files within the source dir
test:
- src/**/*.spec.js
# Add 'source' label to any change to src files within the source dir EXCEPT for the docs sub-folder
source:
- any: ['src/**/*', '!src/docs/*']
# Add 'frontend` label to any change to *.js files as long as the `main.js` hasn't changed
frontend:
- any: ['src/**/*.js']
all: ['!src/main.js']
# Add 'feature' label to any branch that starts with `feature` or has a `feature` section in the name
feature:
- branch: ['feature/**', '*/feature/**']
```
### Create Workflow
Create a workflow (eg: `.github/workflows/labeler.yml` see [Creating a Workflow file](https://help.github.com/en/articles/configuring-a-workflow#creating-a-workflow-file)) to utilize the labeler action with content:
```yml
name: "Pull Request Labeler"
on:
- pull_request_target
jobs:
triage:
permissions:
contents: read
pull-requests: write
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/labeler@v4
with:
repo-token: "${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}"
```
_Note: This grants access to the `GITHUB_TOKEN` so the action can make calls to GitHub's rest API_
#### Inputs
Various inputs are defined in [`action.yml`](action.yml) to let you configure the labeler:
| Name | Description | Default |
| - | - | - |
| `repo-token` | Token to use to authorize label changes. Typically the GITHUB_TOKEN secret, with `contents:read` and `pull-requests:write` access | N/A |
| `configuration-path` | The path to the label configuration file | `.github/labeler.yml` |
| `sync-labels` | Whether or not to remove labels when matching files are reverted or no longer changed by the PR | `false`
