Issue labels (supplemental)

This is a set of issue labels intended to complement the contributor guide. They are used in the tyranno-sandbox repo.

To use in your projects

Link to https://dmyersturnbull.github.io/ref/contributor-guide/. Refer to that guide for information. To add these to GitHub programmatically, refer to tyranno-sandbox repo.

Another way to use

Feel free to use some or all of these labels in your project. No need to credit me for that. (If you’re writing your own recommendations for other projects to use (e.g. on your blog), please do credit.)

Groups

Labels are organized into are 8 groups.

type (mandatory): The kind of changes (matches commit types)
breaking (mandatory): Whether breaking changes are needed (in issues) or made (in PRs)
changelog overrides: changelog: include and changelog: exclude
priority: The importance and urgency
state: What type of work needs to be done (development work is just 1 type)

scope: The component (matches commit scopes)
miscellaneous: question (for user questions in issues), help needed (to request help), and bookmark (for issues that contain important information)

Table 1. Issue/PR labels with associated commit types.

Rationale

Requirements met:

The types are simply a superset of the current Angular commit types and other commonly used sets, including Angular’s earlier revisions.
Commit messages can be used to generate useful, complete, and obvious changelog.
Labels have obvious names and are grouped.
