You can use labels to classify issues and pull requests and to improve your overview over them.
|
|
|
|
Labels can be created by going to the `Issues` page of a repository and clicking on `Labels` to show the labels management page.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For organizations, you can define organization-wide labels that are shared with all organization repositories, including both already-existing repositories as well as newly created ones. Organization-wide labels can be created in the organization `Settings`.
|

|
|
## Creating Labels
|
|
|
|
From the labels management page, click on the `New Label` button.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Labels have a mandatory name, a mandatory color, an optional description, and must either be exclusive or not (see `Scoped labels` below).
|
|
|
|
When you create a repository (or an organization), you can ensure certain labels exist by using the `Issue Labels` option. This option lists a number of available label sets that are configured globally on your instance.
|
|
|
|
## Scoped Labels
|
|
|
|
Scoped labels are used to ensure at most a single label with the same scope is assigned to an issue or pull request. For example, if labels `kind/bug` and `kind/enhancement` have the Exclusive option set, an issue can only be classified as a bug or an enhancement.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A scoped label must contain `/` in its name (not at either end of the name). The scope of a label is determined based on the **last** `/`, so for example the scope of label `scope/subscope/item` is `scope/subscope`.
|
|
|
|
## Filtering by Label
|
|
|
|
Issue and pull request lists can be filtered by label. Selecting multiple labels shows issues and pull requests that have all selected labels assigned.
|
|
|
|
By holding alt to click the label, issues and pull requests with the chosen label are excluded from the list.
