Automatically set label colors

[steebchen]

I'm not sure if this is possible, but it would be awesome if this action could automatically set colors from green to red like Kubernetes does.

I consider label creation out of scope for this action, as there is already at least one action that can take care of it. In my opinion it's better to have all labels in one configuration file so they can be managed in a central place, instead of having each action modify the project's labels.

I would recommend to use issue-label-manager-action. You could use the following configuration to copy the Kubernetes labels:

[
  {
    "name": "size/XS",
    "color": "009900",
    "description": "Denotes a PR that changes 0-9 lines, ignoring generated files."
  },
  {
    "name": "size/S",
    "color": "77bb00",
    "description": "Denotes a PR that changes 10-29 lines, ignoring generated files."
  },
  {
    "name": "size/M",
    "color": "eebb00",
    "description": "Denotes a PR that changes 30-99 lines, ignoring generated files."
  },
  {
    "name": "size/L",
    "color": "ee9900",
    "description": "Denotes a PR that changes 100-499 lines, ignoring generated files."
  },
  {
    "name": "size/XL",
    "color": "ee5500",
    "description": "Denotes a PR that changes 500-999 lines, ignoring generated files."
  },
  {
    "name": "size/XXL",
    "color": "ee0000",
    "description": "Denotes a PR that changes 1000+ lines, ignoring generated files."
  }
]

That would force me to manage my labels from the repo from now on which I would first have to think about. Thanks for the link though.

We now have https://github.com/pascalgn/size-label-action#create-the-needed-labels which is maybe better than nothing. If you want to create a PR for this, feel free and I will have a look at it! 👍

@pascalgn , this is for PR labeling , is there any similar feature for issue labling? Thank you

[pascalgn]

How do you expect that to work? Counting the number of words in the issue description? I'm not sure if that would be very useful...
