gh-label is a command-line tool that simplifies the management of GitHub repository labels.
It allows users to create, list, edit, and delete labels directly from their terminal, eliminating the need to interact with the GitHub web interface for label administration.
This tool is particularly useful for maintaining consistent label sets across multiple repositories, enforcing organizational standards, and automating label-related tasks.
It streamlines workflows related to issue triaging, feature tracking, and bug reporting, ultimately improving project organization and collaboration within GitHub repositories. gh-label typically provides functionalities for bulk operations like syncing labels from a configuration file, ensuring consistency across repositories.

The 'gh-label' command relies on the GitHub API. Rate limits imposed by GitHub may restrict the number of label operations that can be performed within a given timeframe.
Ensure proper authentication with the GitHub CLI is configured before using 'gh-label'.

gh-label often uses configuration files (e.g., YAML, JSON) to define label specifications. These files allow you to define label names, descriptions, and colors centrally, enabling consistent label creation across multiple repositories.
Refer to the tool's documentation for specific configuration file formats and options.

The tool requires authentication with GitHub. This is generally handled through the main 'gh' command-line tool. Ensure you are logged in to your GitHub account using 'gh auth login' before attempting to use gh-label.
