copy-github-labels-cli v1.0.0

Copy GitHub Labels CLI

CLI tool to copy GitHub labels from one repository to another.

If you want to copy GitHub labels in a script, please use copy-github-labels to avoid unnecessary dependencies.

Installation

$ npm install -g copy-github-labels-cli

Usage

$ copy-github-labels -t <token> <source-repo> <destination-repo>

Example

To copy all labels from angular/angular to jvandemo/test:

$ copy-github-labels -t e7ac7612021979b8884f6f11236c65e7723da8c1 angular/angular jvandemo/test

The token above is just an example token, not a real token. You should generate your own token.

The output shows whether or not the copy failed for each label individually:

FAQ

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.
