Python module and script to manage GitHub labels the saner way:

• create or edit sane labels using labels definitions in JSON files
• dump your existing precious labels into JSON file

• PyGithub 1.56

pip install gh-label-maker

Output of python github-label-maker.py -h should be self-explanatory.

If it is not, there are three modes of operation:

• clear all labels using --clear
• add or update labels from files with labels definitions
  • from single file --make-labels-from=/my/scheme/default.json
  • from multiple files --make-labels-from=/my/scheme
• dump all labels using --dump-labels-to=/my/labels.json

# get the source git clone https://github.com/mloskot/github-label-maker.git # install source in editable mode  cd github-label-maker pip install -e . # develop and make a pull request!
