🎛️ Available parameters

  • *_label (xs_label, s_label…): Adjust size label names
  • *_max_size (xs_max_size, s_max_size…): Adjust which amount of changes you consider appropriate for each size based on your project context
  • fail_if_xl: Set to 'true' will report GitHub Workflow failure if the PR size is xl allowing to forbid PR merge
  • message_if_xl: Let the user(s) know that the PR exceeds the recommended size and what the consequences are
  • github_api_url: Override this parameter in order to use with your own GitHub Enterprise Server. Example: 'https://github.example.com/api/v3'
  • files_to_ignore: Whitespace separated list of files to ignore when calculating the PR size. Example: 'package-lock.json Pipfile.lock'

🤔 Basic concepts or assumptions

  • PR size labeler consider as a change any kind of line addition, deletion, or modification
  • A PR will be labeled as xl if it exceeds the amount of changes defined as l_max_size
