Add labels used in the organization to a new repository

SH script to add labels of the AAAsso to all the managed repositories.

How to use it?

Get the file

• Pull the project on your local environment.

Get a token to be able to use it

The GitHub API needs a token linked to your account to work.

• In GitHub, go to Your Settings > Developer settings > Personal access tokens.
• Click on Generate new token.
• Check admin:repo_hook Full control of repository hooks
• Click on Generate Token
• Copy the generated token and save it somewhere if you want to reuse it sometimes (not recommended, I would just keep it in my paperclip)

Run the script

In a terminal.

• Add execution to the script using chmod +x ./set-github-labels.sh
• Execute the script ./set-github-labels.sh
• When it asks your token, paste it. It will not be displayed for security.
• When it asks you the repository name, enter Organization/Repository (e.G. AAAsso/aaaccueil)

Verify it worked

• Go to your GitHub repository and check the labels are the new ones

Enjoy!
