github-label-sync: Synchronize labels using a local `labels.json` file.
$ github-label-sync --access-token ${token} ${repository_name}
try on your machine

The github-label-sync command is used to synchronize GitHub labels between different repositories. It helps to keep labels consistent across multiple repositories by creating, updating, or deleting labels to match a source repository.

Now, let's break down the command itself:

  • github-label-sync: This is the actual command that instructs the system to run the github-label-sync tool.
  • --access-token ${token}: This is an option flag that expects a valid GitHub access token to authenticate the command. An access token is a secure way to authenticate and authorize the github-label-sync tool to access and modify labels on your repositories. ${token} is a variable that should be replaced with an actual access token.
  • ${repository_name}: This is the parameter that specifies the name of the target repository where you want to sync the labels. You need to replace ${repository_name} with the actual name of the repository you want to synchronize.

By using this command, the github-label-sync tool will use the provided access token to access the mentioned repository and synchronize its labels with the source repository, ensuring label consistency across them.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
