We provide various options to have granular control over what runners to scale:
- **Repository Filtering** - If no `repos` are specified, the scaler will query all repositories in the specified `owner`. This is useful if you want to scale on all repositories in an organization, but will result in a lot of API calls and affect the Rate Limit.
- **Label-based Filtering** - The `labels` parameter is used to filter the runners that the scaler will scale. It uses the minimum applicable label for the runner. For example, if you have a runner with the labels `golang` and `helm`, and you specify `helm` in the `labels` field on the GitHub Action, the scaler will scale up that runner.
- **Label-based Filtering** - The `labels` parameter is used to filter the runners that the scaler will scale. It uses the minimum applicable label for the runner. For example, if you have a runner with the labels `golang` and `helm`, and you specify `helm` in the `labels` field on the GitHub Action, the scaler will scale up that runner. By default the scaler will always scale on default labels (`self-hosted`, `linux`, `x64`) in addition to the ones defined in `labels` parameter, scaling on default labels can be disabled by setting `noDefaultLabels` parameter to `true`.
