Copy GitHub labels from one repository to another.md

Copy GitHub labels from one repository to another

  1. https://github.com/jvandemo/copy-github-labels-cli
npm install -g copy-github-labels-cli
  1. Create a token with no/empty access:
  2. https://github.com/settings/tokens
  3. But for private repositories, the token must have full access to the repository.
copy-github-labels -t <token> <source-repo> <destination-repo>
copy-github-labels -t 9u2039vf0s9df80... evandrocoan/ITE evandrocoan/Trabalho01CG

Where can I get a token?

Check out the GitHub guide: Creating an access token for command-line use.

I'm getting an error "Unknown label: failed (Bad credentials)"

This happens when your token is not valid.

I'm getting an error "Unknown label: failed (Validation Failed)"

This happens when GitHub refuses to copy the label because it is already present in the destination repository.

I'm getting an error "Unknown label: failed (Not Found)"

This happens when the destination repository cannot be found.
