A GitHub action to automatically label all PRs according to file patterns.
๐ Note: The pull_request_target
event added to GitHub Actions makes it possible to achieve this without a scheduled workflow. See this post for an example.
Table of Contents
Action is meant to be run as periodic job. This is needed to workaround issues regarding lack of write access when executed from fork which is a common problem when using https://github.com/actions/labeler.
