My Workflow

I created my workflow by customizing the pr-labeler github action by TimonVS on github action marketplace. This workflow works by matching branch patterns name such that whenever a branch with matching pattern makes a pull request and when that branch is merged and closed it adds the hacktoberfest and hacktoberfest-accepted label to the PRs, which automates the task for hacktoberfest maintainers to manually add the labels.

What the workflow does ?

When a pull request is closed with the branch name hack/[anything] the Action will automatically apply the hacktoberfest and hacktoberfest-acccepted label once the PR is merged.

Example

1. I created a new file index.js in a new branch with the matching pattern name hack/test then committed the change and opened a pull request to the master branch.

2. As you can see currently there are no labels assigned to the pull request also no workflow has been run yet.

3. Now I merge the PR to the master branch to run the worklfow.
   

4. The merge action here triggers the workflow
   

5. Finally when the pull request is closed and merged the labels hacktoberfest and hacktoberfest-accepted have been added to the pull request.

This is a github action made by using and customizing the pr-labeler github action by TimonVS from the github actions marketplace.

Features

• Add labels to pull request with matching patterns in branch-name.

• The current matching pattern for branchname is 'hack/*' but one can customise it by editing the 'pr-labeler.yml' file in .github folder.
• Easy to Use
• Automates the task of adding labels manually to a PR while merging during Hacktoberfest

  pull_request:
    types: [closed]

jobs:
  pr-labeler:
    if: github.event.pull_request.merged == true

          configuration-path: .github/pr-labeler.yml # optional, .github/pr-labeler.yml is the default value
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
