Running lablabel

You can get help with the utility using --help:

lablabel --help

To setup the proj repository for the user blob, with the personal access code 1234, run the following in a directory that contains your GITLAB-LABELS.md file:

lablabel blob proj 1234 set

And update the project with:

lablabel blob proj 1234 update

It is safe to run a set or update on a project that already contains the defined labels.

A simple test mode can be used to run the utility on a file without writing the label definitions to Git:

lablabel blob proj 1234 --test

A good working practice is to add a GITLAB-LABELS.md file to the root of your project and run lablabel from there. You then have a permanent record of the label definitions and, if you need to add or adjust your labels in the future, edit the file and just re-run lablabel (see Limitations when doing this).
