Repo Gopher

A utility for ensuring that a GitHub repository has the correct set of labels. The owner can create a toml file to configure a list of labels, and a list of mappings to rename older labels correctly.

This tool is shamelessly ripped off ported from https://github.com/thommay/repo_man so I didn't have to mess around with running Ruby locally. All credit to the author.

Configuration

Given the following configuration file:

repositories = [ "example/fox", "example/wolf" ]

[[label]]
name = "bug"
color = "f29513"
mappings = [ "defect", "error" ]

[[label]]
name = "Jump In"
color = "123456"

[[label]]
name = "An Old Label"
delete = true
color = "123456"

repo-gopher would create two labels, bug and Jump In, and would ensure any existing issues labelled as defect or error were relabelled as bug.

The config file can either be specified from the command line, or will use /etc/repo-gopher/config.toml by default.

Syntax

The config file consists of two arrays, repositories, and label.

repositories is an array of organization/repository names.

A label may have the following keys:

• name string, required
• color string, required
• delete bool

There is a special key, mappings, that accepts an array of existing labels that should be renamed to the current one. Renaming is done by applying the new label and then removing the old one, so it should be idempotent in the face of failed runs.
