github-create-and-add-labels-all-repos-using-python

Create and add GitHub labels to repositories which can be later used for pull requests and issues

How code works

• we use GitHub REST API to programatically create Labels
• The program create_new_labels.py have 2 parts
  1. It uses GitHub endpoint for listing repos under an organization to list all repositories
  2. It uses create labels end point to create labels in repos
• Proper logs (error OR success messgaes) are displayed

Authentication method used

I am using fine grained personal access token

• The fine-grained token must have at least one of the following permission sets:

  • "Issues" repository permissions (write)
  • "Pull requests" repository permissions (write)
