Github Action For Auto Labelling

name: Auto Labeling

on:
  issues:
    types: [opened, labeled, unlabeled]
  pull_request:
    types: [opened, labeled, unlabeled]

jobs:
  label:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - name: Label issues and pull requests
      uses: actions/labeler@v3
      with:
        repo-token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

The below file should be saved as labeler.yaml with the following path: .github/labeler.yml since the actions/labeler action uses a configuration file named .github/labeler.yml in your repository to determine how to label issues and pull requests based on the paths of changed files.

Below are some defined label rules according to your needs. Read more here

# Label pull requests that change files in the 'docs/' directory as 'documentation'
documentation:
  - docs/**/*

# Label pull requests that change files in the 'src/' directory as 'source'
source:
  - src/**/*

# Label pull requests that change '.github/workflows/' files as 'CI'
CI:
  - .github/workflows/**/*

# Label pull requests that change 'README.md' as 'readme'
readme:
  - README.md

Awesome! Thanks for these boss, gonna add all 4 files and test them out! 🙌

Thanks for these boss @Mastersam07!

Is there an overall tutorial on this actually? It still seems confusing

Nice one Master Sam. 😉
