Support .github repo label.yml file

Would be great to support the .github repo style of deep merging the label.yml

So you could have default labels from organization. 👍

Hi @Casz, thanks for your suggestion!

I had thought about integrating this feature but for the moment the scope of a GITHUB_TOKEN is not expanded to the org (yet?). The only way would be to use a GitHub PAT.

Considering this I think we should modify the YAML config to something like:

repos:
  - "." # means current repo
  - "myorgname/*"
  - "myusername/*"
  - "myusername/arepo"
labels:
  - name: mylabel
    color: "000000"
  - ...

I could perhaps provide my own GitHub token that has the necessary access ? 😄

By definition the .github repo has to be public at least according to GitHub docs that would mean the default token should suffice.

https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/github/building-a-strong-community/creating-a-default-community-health-file#creating-a-repository-for-default-files

You can add default community health files to the root of a public repository called .github that is owned by an organization or user account.

Make sure the repository status is set to Public (a repository for default files cannot be private).
