// Function to update an existing label
function updateLabel(label) {
  let flag = false;

  [].slice.call(document.querySelectorAll('.labels-list-item')).forEach((element) => {
    if (element.querySelector('.label-link').textContent.trim() === label.name) {
      flag = true;
      element.querySelector('.js-edit-label').click();
      element.querySelector('.js-new-label-name-input').value = label.name;
      element.querySelector('.js-new-label-description-input').value = label.description;
      element.querySelector('.js-new-label-color-input').value = `#${label.color}`;
      element.querySelector('.js-edit-label-cancel ~ .btn-primary').click();
    }
  });

  return flag;
}

// Function to add a new label
function addNewLabel(label) {
  document.querySelector('.js-new-label-name-input').value = label.name;
  document.querySelector('.js-new-label-description-input').value = label.description;
  document.querySelector('.js-new-label-color-input').value = `#${label.color}`;
  document.querySelector('.js-details-target ~ .btn-primary').disabled = false;
  document.querySelector('.js-details-target ~ .btn-primary').click();
}

// Function to update or add a new label
function addLabel(label) {
  if (!updateLabel(label)) {
    addNewLabel(label);
  }
}

labels.map((label) => {
  addLabel(label);
});

Works like a charm! One of the most underrated things I've ever seen on Github.
