📒 Summary

I got tired of manually updating default settings, adding labels, and rotating old tags on each repository. GitHub, specifically, allows you to set default settings at the organization level for new repositories but it is not possible to apply those to previously created repositories automatically.

The purpose of this script is to set a default set of labels to an specified repository.

Made with Ruby 💎 for learning purposes.

• Create the dotenv (.env) file using the example .env.example file and update it accordingly.
