CONFIGURATION

To start using the Labeler Github Action, you need to create
the.github/workflows/labeler.yml file with the following content:

name: "Pull Request Labeler"
on:
  - pull_request

jobs:
  label:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:

      # https://github.com/marketplace/actions/pr-labeler-based-on-multiple-rules
      - uses: srvaroa/labeler@v0.8
        with:
          config_path: .github/labeler_config.yml
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: "${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}"

On the .github/labeler_config.yml file you can define the action configuration.

Now, let's explore some interesting use cases for this GitHub Action.


DIFF SIZE LABELS

As a pull request reviewer, sometimes you don’t have enough time to review a big
pull request. In certain moments you have some free minutes to review small pull
requests.

a quick preview of the time it will take to you to review it.

On the .github/labeler_config.yml file you can configure the action to assign
different labels according to the diff size:

version: 1
labels:
  - label: "xsmall-diff"
    size-below: 10
  - label: "small-diff"
    size-above: 9
    size-below: 100
  - label: "medium-diff"
    size-above: 99…
