Pull request labeler triages PRs based on the paths that are modified in the PR.
To use, create a .github/labeler.yml file with a list of labels and minimatch
globs to match to apply the label.
Example:
label1:
- example1/**/*
label2: example2/*
label3:
- example3/*
- example3/**/*.yml
Where "label1" is the name of the label on your repository that you want to add (eg: "merge conflict", "needs-updating") and "example1/**/*" is the path of the changed files.
Then create a workflow (eg: .github/workflows/label.yml see Creating a Workflow file) utilizing the labeler action, granting access to the GITHUB_TOKEN so the action can make calls to GitHub's rest API:
name: "Pull Request Labeler"
on:
- pull_request
