A GitHub Action that automatically applies labels to your PRs based on branch name patterns like feature/* or fix/*. Can be used in combination with Release Drafter to automatically categorize pull requests.

Add .github/workflows/pr-labeler.yml with the following:

name: PR Labeler
on:
  pull_request:
    types: [opened]

jobs:
  pr-labeler:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: TimonVS/pr-labeler-action@master
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

Configure by creating a .github/pr-labeler.yml file.

For example:

feature: ['feature/*', 'feat/*']
fix: fix/*
chore: chore/*
fixed-branch: fixed-branch-name

Then if a pull request is opened with the branch name feature/218-add-emoji-support the Action will automatically apply the feature label.

You can use * as a wildcard for matching multiple branch names. See https://www.npmjs.com/package/matcher for more information about wildcard options.
