The given command is using the "github-label-sync" tool to synchronize labels between repositories on GitHub. Here is the breakdown of the command:

  1. github-label-sync: It is the name of the tool or command-line utility that is being executed.

  2. --access-token ${token}: It specifies the access token required to authenticate and authorize the command. The ${token} is most likely a placeholder for an actual access token. A token is necessary to access the GitHub API and perform tasks on behalf of the user or organization.

  3. --allow-added-labels: It is a flag that allows labels to be added during the synchronization process. Labels that exist in the source repository but not in the target repository will be added.

  4. ${repository_name}: It represents the name of the repository or repositories to be synchronized. The actual repository name needs to be provided in place of ${repository_name}.

In summary, the command is using the "github-label-sync" tool with an access token to synchronize labels between repositories. It allows new labels to be added in the synchronization process. Replace ${token} with an access token and ${repository_name} with the actual repository name before executing the command.
