Documentation can be found at https://github.com/IonicaBizau/github-labeller#readme

You also need to get a GitHub application token. Go here: https://github.com/settings/tokens. Click on <kbd>Generate New Token</kbd>. Because you will be setting labels for repositories, you will need to add the repo scopes. Name the token something informative: github-labeller is a good name.

If you would like to use this label more than once, save it somewhere in your .bash_profile or .bashrc files. These are normally hidden in your root directory.

:clipboard: Example

Here is an example how to use this package as library. To install it locally, as library, you can use npm install github-labeller (or yarn add github-labeller):

// Dependencies
var GitHubLabeller = require("github-labeller");

// Provide the token and some info
var labeller = GitHubLabeller([
    {
        color: "#4aa3df"
      , name: "Some blue label"
    }
], {
    repo: "jlord/git-it-electron"
  , token: "your token here"
}, function (err, data) {
    if (err) {
        return console.log(err);
    }
    console.log(data);
});

labeller.on("added", function (owner, repo, label, err, data) {
    console.log(label, owner + "/" + repo);
});

:sparkling_heart: Support my projects

I open-source almost everything I can, and I try to reply to everyone needing help using these projects. Obviously, this takes time. You can integrate and use these projects in your applications for free! You can even change the source code and redistribute (even resell it).

However, if you get some profit from this or just want to encourage me to continue creating stuff, there are few ways you can do it:

Thanks! :heart:
