Question about Automating Labels using GitHub Action

[Rahma-AlWadhahi]

Description

I had a talk recently about Automation with GitHub Actions and I was glad to implement something similar to what Eddie explained in this video. Sync GitHub Issue Labels with a json file and a GitHub Action

I was wondering if we can have one repository which has the JSON file and apply it to all the repositories that a person or an organization owns.

For example, I have a repository1 that is recently created and has labels.json and labels.yml. In addition, I have other old repositories in my account. Is there a way I can use repository1 and apply the labels without needing to copy the JSON file in all the repositories?

As I write this discussion, I realized, I might need to create an issue directly in the project github-label-template 🤦‍♀️

oh yes we could so do this 👍 , we could have a custom GitHub Action that contains this json file and adds it to that repo it is included in - this will make it much easier for everyone to use it 💥

I created a repo for this 🤓 and we can start building it up and moving it over https://github.com/EddieHubCommunity/gh-action-open-source-labels
