With binary extension support in gh v2.1.0 via PR cli/cli#4308, update the build scripts to emit the proper file names match {runtime.GOOS}-{runtime.GOARCH}: https://github.com/cli/cli/blob/f6b33572fddc0df381ba6323d0c05b605f462914/pkg/cmd/extension/manager.go#L48

Now that cli/gh-extension-precompile#8 is merged and the v1 tag updated to include the change, again upgrade to Go 1.17 (just since that's what I have installed across my machines so it's more likely code will more likely compile in CIs like locally) and pass it to go_version for the action.

Without the changes I introduced in cli/cli#4106, labels will not be printed in color. Will either need cli/cli#4192 fixed or figure out a workaround.

For now, I've used this web app https://micalevisk.github.io/github-label-manager whenever I need do copy all labels from one repository. I think it would be cool if we could this with your gh extension as GitHub doesn't have such feature :)

Not working inside a container
Using command : gh label create feedback
Error: failed to create label; error: gh returned error: exit status 1, stderr: gh: Not Found (HTTP 404)

Hi @heaths,
I've recently downloaded your extension and when I tried to list the labels I received the following error,

error: cannot find gh; is it installed? error: exec: "gh": executable file not found in $PATH

However, I am able to use gh normally and gh label --help works. Here is my path which contains gh twice (exported again to try and pix this issue)

/usr/bin/latexmk:/snap/bin/gh:/usr/bin/latexmk:/home/jordan/anaconda3/bin:/home/jordan/anaconda3/condabin:/home/jordan/.opam/default/bin:/home/jordan/.cargo/bin:/home/jordan/.local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin:~/Documents/flutter/bin:~/Documents/flutter/bin:/snap/bin/gh

gh label list works using $GH_REPO, but gh label create exits with an error:

~ 23:55 $ echo $GH_REPO
razzius/dev-env-issues
~ 23:55 $ gh label list | head -3
bash    853A20

Error: failed to create label; error: gh returned error: exit status 1, stderr: unable to expand placeholder in path: fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
/usr/local/bin/git: exit status 128

Running gh upgrade --all reports:

[graph]: already up to date
[label]: gh-label unsupported for darwin-arm64. Open an issue: `gh issue create -R heaths/gh-label -t'Support darwin-arm64'`
[markdown-preview]: upgrade complete

... so, raiding this issue!

➜ gh extension install heaths/gh-label
"label" matches the name of a built-in command

How to fix it?

This is a nice and useful extension to the github-cli.

I would like to see an edit or update-action which allows me to change the color, name, or description of a label. Just passing arguments for the fields I want to change and leaving the other unchanged seems like the simplest complete solution to me.

Sadly, I do not know go, so I just opened this issue

Token storage change in latest release of gh

This is a message from the GitHub CLI team, maintainers of gh, writing to inform you that the most recent release of gh contains changes which may affect your extension. The latest release introduces the feature of storing authentication tokens in the system keyring (encrypted storage) instead of in a plain text file.
The keyrings that are supported are:

• Keychain on macOS

• GNOME Keyring on Linux (Secret Service dbus interface)

• Wincred on Windows

This has huge security benefits for the users of our tool and was one of our oldest outstanding issues. Unfortunately this change has the potential to break extensions that rely on utilizing the users authentication token to work.

In order to have continued compatibility with gh there are some actions you, as an extension author, need to take. These actions will depend on the implementation of your extension.

Extensions built in Go using go-gh:

1. Upgrade your go-gh version to v1.2.1, the latest version.

   • This can be done using go get github.com/cli/[email protected]

2. Verify that in your extension retrieval of the user authentication token is done using the auth.TokenForHost function.

   • If you were previously accessing the authentication token using any other method it will no longer work.
   • Automatic resolution of the authentication token when using the API clients will continue to work without changes.

All other extensions:

1. Verify that in your extension retrieval of the user authentication token is done by shelling out to the gh auth token command.

   • If you were previously accessing the authentication token using the gh config get command, reading the configuration file directly, or any other methods it will no longer work.

As of right now storing the authentication token in the system keyring is an opt-in feature, but in the near future it will be required and at that point if the changes above are not made then your extension will be broken for all users. If you have any questions/concerns about this change please feel free to open a discussion in the gh repo.

Thanks,
The GitHub CLI Team

The gh label list command works, but none of the others work. They do not appear to be installed:

> gh label create
Error: unknown command "create" for "label"
Run 'label --help' for usage.

> gh label --help
Usage:
  label [command]

Available Commands:
  completion  generate the autocompletion script for the specified shell
  help        Help about any command
  list        List labels for the repository matching optional 'label' substring in the name or description

Flags:
  -h, --help              help for label
  -R, --repo OWNER/REPO   Select another repository using the OWNER/REPO format

Use "label [command] --help" for more information about a command.

Once you try to install the plugin you get "label" matches the name of a built-in command, so probably this repo needs a new name
