Not working with .github repository in organization

[matrixik]

Hello, thank you for working on this useful action.

I would like to report that it's not working with repository called .github that is owned by an organization.
More info: https://help.github.com/en/github/building-a-strong-community/creating-a-default-community-health-file

Basically: I would like to be able instead of creating .github/pr-labeler.yml file separately in every repository in specific organization/user to add it only once to .github repository and it would be used automatically by every other repository that have pr-labeler action installed.

Example:
I added global file:
https://github.com/gosimple/.github/blob/master/.github/pr-labeler.yml
And would like to be used automatically in https://github.com/gosimple/spinner repo (.github/workflows/pr-labeler.yml added).

Release drafter (https://github.com/marketplace/actions/release-drafter) is supporting this.

https://probot.github.io/docs/best-practices/#store-configuration-in-the-repository
I don't even use _extends functionality.
I have gosimple/spinner/.github/workflows/release-drafter.yml
and global configuration for it in: gosimple/.github/.github/release-drafter.yml and it's working fine.

Great suggestion, I will look into this.

I'm also running into this. It would be great if it was possible to use the action in our internal repos. All the actions finish without errors, but labels are not added
